Everything: 10Director Justin Kurzel has managed to craft, directly from the brilliant source material by William Shakespeare, an astonishingly original, searingly visceral, 'Malickian', and most importantly delicately intimate study into the mind of Macbeth.
The artistry and craft leaps from every frame of this film. It's fair to say that a person unfamiliar with either this play or the language of Shakespeare's time will have a hard time connecting to this film, but I was utterly transformed. I was lost within the world of this film and the minds of these people. Every setting, every stab, every punch, every tear, every cry... truly rung deep within my soul.
I deeply felt every moment of this film.
Macbeth is now my #1 film on my 2015 Ranked List.
Congratulations.

Finally. Justin Kurzel has finally delivered the dark, gritty, and bloody adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth that we've all been waiting for. But he brings us so much more than just grit and gore. Oh yes, the cinematography is simply spot on perfection, it's a crime that this film wasn't nominated for that alone. When Fassbender wins the Oscar this year, I'm going to pretend that it's for this film, because he was nothing short of amazing.
Bursting with energy, looming with dread, and reeking of all the traditional dialogue necessary, Kurzel's Macbeth brings about one of the most visceral and gorgeously realized adaptations of the Scotland tale in cinematic history. The set designs were superb, the soundtrack was absolutely stellar,…

I am honestly shocked that this film hasn't received a lot of recognition from the major award ceremonies. Even though the dialogue gets somewhat incomprehensible at times, it's been a while since I've seen such a grandiose, brutal, profound, electrifying journey, with a cinematography that truly takes your breath away. As expected, Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard are brilliant here and I must say the performances are some of their best work without a doubt! Heck, kudos to all the cast and I admire how much effort they put into their roles as I definitely got transported to the middle of the XI century. The score helps creating a constantly unnerving and enigmatic atmosphere, also making the battle sequences so…

Beginning the film with a confirmation of the monumental loss of a child the Macbeth's suffer (only ever briefly implied in the text), this recontextualizes their horrifying royal intrigue actions with unhinged grief-stricken emotions and portent expressionism regarding cycles of fated generational violence. All the Tarkovsky-inspired imagery is drop-dead gorgeous of course, but the real power is in how Kurzel uses it not just as beautiful stage direction but to formally move Shakespeare into the realm of dreamlike opera. Muting and cross-cutting the words in favor of huge passions and looming landscapes in a sensorial fog; a primal fury of dirt and blood that eventually gives way to fire and ash. That the anguished mood and madness of this was largely ignored in favor of The Revenant when it came out (which walks the line between being brutish and pretentious far less successfully imo) still personally offends me.

In my opinion, Macbeth contains what is undoubtedly some of the greatest camerawork in the history of cinema; Adam Arkapaw is the true star of this film (not that Fassbender and Cotillard don't knock it out of the park) and with this, TD s01, Top of the Lake, Lore, Snowtown, Animal Kingdom and Apricot, he has solidified himself as one of the world's finest cinematographers.
This and The Assassin are, visually,
the two most gorgeous films you'll see all year.Eagerly awaiting Assassin's Creed,
which I think will be even better.listen:

"Do you not hope your children will be kings?"
Lovely even if it's stylistically cribbed from just about anyone you care to name: Polanski, Ridley, even the dread Neil Marshall. And yes, overdetermined, but you know, it's "Macbeth", the granddaddy of endless portent and impending doom. This crucially adds an invented opening moment that becomes a motif, recoding the entire story as one of parental grief rather than misguided ambition.

The cinematography is incredible.
The performances are good.
The movie itself made me want to die. It's so fucking uninteresting! I wanted to love this film, and it bored the living hell out of me. I felt nothing. This whole thing drags along, and there's nothing happening. It got so bland for me that I just stopped caring or watching. I was basically watching the film with 25% focus. This movie is basically like a very nice painting but it has no meaning to its surface. I understand why people love it, and maybe I just need another watch. But holy hell, I didn't like this at all.

You heard it before and you'll hear it again-- Macbeth is the most visually stunning film this year. Justin Kurzel must be a very disciplined director and Adam Arkapaw must be a very talented cinematographer (both, I shamefully admit, am not familiar with before today). From start to finish this film just keeps shooting giant, marvelous eye candies at us, so visually stunning my ears couldn't hear anything other than the sound of diabetes charging for me. Michael Fassbender is slaying his way towards the Oscars and he's not taking any prisoners. Marion Cotillard's monologue is both emotional and gripping, certainly a powerful asset for the film. Macbeth is madness clashing with beauty, blood clashing with dust, sword clashing with sword, an angry person that maintains his composure, a calm thunderstorm.
Hail Macbeth!
Hail Macbeth!
