Lady Macbeth
UK 2016, 89 minutes
Dir. William Oldroyd
English
Rating: [R16] Violence, offensive language & sex scenes
Genres: Drama / Female-centric
Topics: Period - 1800s.
“Superbly acted and executed, this spare piece of storytelling marks an assertive feature debut for theatre and opera director William Oldroyd.”
Aroview: A confronting, whip-smart "costume noir" about a woman stifled by her loveless marriage in rural Northern England, 1865, whose passionate affair with a young worker on her father-in-law's estate unleashes a force to be reckoned with.
Not based on Shakespeare's work, but instead on the Russian novel, "Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District" by Nikolai Leskov.

2 stars (Good Try) Sex scenes do not a movie make. Not engaging. ~Sandy
2 stars (Good Try) It failed to hold the attention. ~Tubbs
4 stars (Very Good) It's grim up north as a young wife unhappily trapped in an English period drama. In her breakthrough, Pugh as Lady Mac invites sympathy for her situation and increasing revulsion over her solutions. Lean, taut and thoroughly revisionist. ~arnhemcr
