I've read the play & seen other versions; this is by far the most riveting version I've ever seen, maybe the most riveting film I've ever seen. The stark sets strip your defenses away, and the performances claw you to the heart. I could not drag my eyes away from the action, especially the stunning Lear. Even if you are usually turned off by Shakespeare, don't fail to see Ian Holm in this surprisingly modern action drama!
