Daisy Ridley stranded in disastrous Hamlet reimagining


A re-imagining of Hamlet, told from Ophelia's perspective, early reviews are bad with Shakespeare being dumbed down, expect this to be as crap as Mary Reilly!

Well, it's at least better than Mary Reilly. But yeah the longer it goes, the messier it gets. The first twenty minutes aren't that bad actually. George MacKay and Clive Owen were excellent casting as Hamlet and Claudius. Daisy Ridley is trying to act against type as someone more reserved and dispassionate but it doesn't really work.
