Although very well acted, shot and edited, I felt somewhat let-down by this precis of the Hamlet-Ophelia relationship. The contemporary setting, seen mostly in B&W flashbacks, flattens the characters of the pair into unimportant nobodies. The feminist viewpoint (created by the Hamlet actor/scenarist) is all that comes through: that Ophelia, in the presence of Hamlet, is "tongue-tied by authority". It is beautiful to watch, but titling it "Ophelia" led me to hope for more.
