DVD Review: All is True

All is True
directed by Kenneth Branagh (DVD All)

As a fan of both Kenneth Branagh and the works of William Shakespeare, I had to see the film All is True in which Branagh plays Shakespeare in his later years. The film looks at the period of time after Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre burns down and he returns home to his family in Stratford-upon-Avon. Relationships with his wife and daughter are difficult; he has spent little time with them as he became the world’s greatest playwright. The film features an incredible cast including Dame Judi Dench and Sir Ian McKellen. Definitely worth seeing!

[If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try Hamlet, and Henry V, both starring Kenneth Branagh.]
