Stylistically, this adaptation is unmatched. Utterly stunning! This is a Julie Taymor play, after all. If you know anything about her work on stage or film, you would know that she puts a huge focus on visuals. Unfortunately, that also means she sacrifices other important elements, such as acting. This play is no different. Many of her casting choices were questionable, and I often wondered if the variety of dialects were intentional or just the actors using their natural accents without much direction to try something more cohesive. It was confusing and ultimately did not work. That being said, Taymor's quite literal interpretation of this Shakespearean classic as a "dream" was magnificent to behold, and it made up for what the overall performances lacked. As a filmed adaptation, the cinematography was well thought out and captured what needed to be seen. It was a fun ride that improved as it went on.
