Title: Read it. Don't watch it.
Product review: This movie was acceptable lighting and staging wise, but the costumes seemed to be a strange mixture of different time periods. At the beginning, Lear's attendants looked like a S.W.A.T. team, and at the end of the play Edger, who'd already had far too many costume changes, was dressed as an executioner. The actors screamed and mumbled their lines, which may have distracted them for focusing on more important things, like being believable characters and staying true to the play. All the actors had their moments when they seemed to show the appropriate level of accuracy to the characters, but that was usually when they weren't speaking. All in all, if it were a real movie, I would have waited for it to come out on HBO, and even then, I might have only viewed it while something more interesting was on a commercial break.
