wolverine, bring me a cheese pizza

It’s a dark, savage, bleak film. (It’s a dark, savage, bleak play.) But it’s also beautiful in its darkness. I love seeing the darkness in Shakespeare done right. This is a film that pulls no punches. 

Scotland is a character in this, as it should be.

The witches. W o w.

Stylistically it is perfect. Brilliant cinematography and sound editing. It’s a dream to watch. 

There are a couple of interesting and pretty genius narrative decisions on the part of Justin Kurzel that I won’t ruin for anyone but wow. What a great director that man is already.  

Fassbender is BRILLIANT, managing his understated scene-stealing thing while doing Shakespearean dialogue in a pretty flawless Scottish accent. (Nice coaching there, James McAvoy.) Marion Cotillard is also brilliant and her Lady Macbeth is fascinating to watch. 

Their chemistry is insaaaaaane. I was left hungry for more of their scenes together and I am so glad they’re going to be working together again (and with Justin Kurzel!) in Assassin’s Creed.
