if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
LADY MACBETH is an example of another potentially interesting movie let down by a slow, dragging kind of execution that renders the whole experience quite the bore. It's about a repressed woman living in the Victorian era, who makes some dramatic changes in her life, particularly in regard to three men who come into it and affect her in different ways. The film has a simplistic plot and as such feels dragged out; it becomes obvious where this is going around the halfway mark and yet it takes an age to get there. Things merely plod along to the ultra-obvious climax that you saw coming a mile off. With a bit of life, vibrancy and suspense added to the story this could have been thrilling, and the actors are certainly effective at investing you in their lives. But overall this is more of a thumb-twiddler than a seat-edger.
I watched this at home on DVD from our public library.The characters in thre movie aren't really Lady Macbeth and her family, it is used as a reference for the type of behavior, namely needing to kill off an heir to keep things for herself. There has been much written about the details of the actual story, I won't try to repeat that.I want to comment on the lead actress, Florence Pugh, who probably wasn't much older than 19 during filming, as Katherine. She was secured in wedlock to an older man seemingly only as a means to provide an heir to the country estate. Ms. Pugh is new to feature roles as this and she really carries it well. I look for better parts for her in the near future.Otherwise the movie is a sad tale of tragedy in a Shakespearean manner. Well made with almost no background music which, when you focus on that, makes it just a bit dull.
I want to start with the title, that misled me because I thought that was a Shakespeare's plays. Movie flow was so dull in the beginning I am sure most of the audience get bored when they watching in the very beginning scenes. But after that, all these lust, lie and despair feelings appearing and suddenly atmosphere changes and in the end of the movie I felt like I'm under the strange avalanche.
In a 19th century English country estate, Katherine has been forced into a loveless marriage with Alexander Lester. He is unable to consummate the marriage. His father Boris is a strict ruthless businessman. While Alexander and Boris are away, the estate hands have stripped black housemaid Anna naked to be weighted like livestock. She has a passionate affair with the aggressive new groomsman Sebastian.This is great emotional and physical brutality throughout the movie. Sebastian is the classic bad boy and Katherine easily falls into him. She is more complicated than a heroine in distress. Florence Pugh delivers a performance beyond her age. There is so much stoic power and defiance in her. What she does with the chair made me laugh in disbelief. One expected a shrinking violet for her character at the start but she is much more delicious than that. She is a creature of beautiful ugliness.
