With his handsome and compelling Hamlet, Kenneth Branagh brings the Bard's greatest tragedy passionately alive on the screen.

This Hamlet may not be perfect, but it is perfectly engrossing.
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

As star and ringmaster, Branagh gets to the heart of Hamlet and goes to admirable lengths to take his audience there, too.
Janet Maslin, New York Times

The film equivalent of a lushly illustrated coffee-table book.
