Macbeth (2015) is a re-telling of the popular William Shakespeare play. It follows Macbeth after he murders the king of Scotland in order for himself to become king, after being swayed by his cunning wife. I found this to be a beautiful slow burn and a true portrayal of the book. This definitely isn’t for everyone but I really adored it.
Firstly, the sound design and use of muting was very affective. The score helps set the tone for the film and it builds up during the tense moments end really makes the audience feel something, it adds to the experience of the film.
The characters were brilliant and I cannot fault the actors in the slightest. The acting was on point and there was actually a lot of character depth which made them even more intriguing. The dialogue was also well thought out and I’m happy they keep this true to the language in the book as well. A stand out for me was the three witches, I loved how they were portrayed and it was a unique but fitting take on them.
The colour palettes were very distinct and juxtaposed each other with stunning cinematography. I also really liked the framing, it always felt like a lot of thought had been put into each and every shot. The movie as a while was incredibly artistically done.
The pacing was very slow and steady, but in my opinion this was the best pacing for the subject matter. It builds up a strong atmosphere and makes the brutal moments feel tastefully gruesome. It was actually very abstract which is perfect for me! I thought this all payed off to a very tense and impactful climax with an amazing fight scene.
4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
