- TriviaThe lyrical chanting heard at several pivotal points comes from the play itself. "Hamlet" Act 2 scene 2 page 5 when Ophelias father Polonius reads aloud a letter from Hamlet containing the lines "Doubt that the stars are fire Doubt that the sun doth move Doubt truth to be a liar But never doubt I love"
- GoofsWhen Hamlet reads the Bible to Ophelia, he recites verses from the Song of Songs, but his book is open to "ParalipomenOn I", i. the first book of the Chronicles.
- Quotes
[first lines]
Ophelia: You may think you know my story. Many have told it. It has long passed into history... into myth.
Ophelia: I have seen more of heaven and hell than most people dream of. But I was always a willful girl, and followed my heart, and spoke my mind. And it is high time I should tell you my story myself.

Featured review
"Ophelia" is a Drama - Romance movie in which we watch Hamlet from Ophelia's perspective. She was raised by Queen Gertrude in Elsinore Castle and she had some feelings for Prince Hamlet. Passion, romance, vengeance combined in this movie.
I found this movie interesting and different since it's from a different perspective than usual. The direction which was made by Claire McCarthy was good and she presented well her main characters and the plot behind her movie. The interpretation of Daisy Ridley who played as Ophelia was good and her combination with some other actors/actresses created a good result. Some other interpretations that have to be mentioned were Naomi Watts's who played as Gertrude / Mechtild, Clive Owen's who played as Claudius and George MacKay's who played as Hamlet. Finally, I have to say that "Ophelia" is an interesting movie and I recommend you to watch it just from curiosity.
