• Hamlet by William Shakespeare (1970)

  [8/10]

  "While the accepted Aristotelian idea of the 'tragic flaw' provides a convenient means to discuss the characters in Hamlet, none of the characters actually demonstrate the 'tragic flaw' as defined by Aristotle."

• Marie Antoinette directed by Sofia Coppola (2006)

  [5/10]

  "I find Marie Antoinette an interesting mood piece that doesn't tax the actors involved, except maybe with their period wardrobe. The soundtrack distracts from the tone of the film, and I got bored at many places, probably due to so much attention to detail in the costumes and sets at the expense of true biographical information."

  Average score: 6.50
