Video Review – The Tragedy of Macbeth haunts its way to one of 2021’s best films

December 7, 2021 by EJ Moreno

EJ Moreno with a video review of Joel Coen’s The Tragedy of Macbeth…

Joel Coen looks to enter the awards season with his most interesting film to date, The Tragedy of Macbeth. The powerhouse performances from Denzel Washington, Frances McDormand, and the stellar Kathryn Hunter make this a must-see cinematic experience.

Critic EJ Moreno calls this one of the year’s best and a Best Actor reel for Denzel. Watch EJ’s review below, and be sure to follow us on YouTube for more reviews, exclusive interviews, and other video content…

A work of stark chiaroscuro and incantatory rage, Joel Coen’s boldly inventive visualisation of The Scottish Play is an anguished film that stares, mouth agape, at a sorrowful world undone by blind greed and thoughtless ambition. In meticulously world-weary performances, a strikingly inward Denzel Washington is the man who would be king, and an effortlessly Machiavellian Frances McDormand is his Lady, a couple driven to political assassination—and deranged by guilt—after the cunning prognostications of a trio of “weird sisters” (a virtuoso physical inhabitation by Kathryn Hunter).

The Tragedy of Macbeth stars Denzel Washington as Macbeth, Frances McDormand as Lady Macbeth, Brendan Gleeson as King Duncan, Corey Hawkins as Macduff, Moses Ingram as Lady Macduff, Harry Melling as Malcolm, Sean Patrick Thomas as Monteith, and Ralph Ineson as The Captain.
