"I lived so long in an imaginary world I think I've lost sight of what is real" (Shakespeare answers his daughters question as to why he is no longer writing).

Not to everyone's tastes but nevertheless, clever, a visual feast and imaginative to the core. Ben Elton (writer) and Kenneth Branagh (lead actor/director) combine to rake over the coals of William Shakespeare's retirement years, and let it be told they were year's too few (1613 - 1616). There has been conjecture about Shakespeare's final years after his beloved Globe Theatre burnt to the ground and he returned to the family home in Stratford. How truly neglectful of his family was The Bard? How would wife Anne and daughters Suzanna and Judith react to his presence? What family secret would be unearthed to shake the psych of the world's greatest writer? Much of All Is True is conjecture but there is no better student of Shakespeare than Elton. Then there is the electric scene matching Branagh and McKellen which can best be described as a masterclass. 10GUMS.
