Title: Not the worst King Lear, but not the best either
Product review: King Lear on film will always be compared to Olivier's version near the end of his life. All the performances, especially his, were so nuanced and clear. Holm isn't a bad Lear, but he just doesn't master it the way Olivier did. The Fool's character was edited too much. Some of the play's most poignant moments came from him and his interaction with Lear. Unfortunatly some aren't here. Do yourself a favor: FInd Olivier's version.
