Critics' reviews

"Joel Coen combines elements of stage and screen to create a masterful film (...) However, the production wouldn’t be as strong if it were not led by two of the best actors in the business"

Valerie Complex: Deadline
"All has the entranced clarity of a nightmare. The surprise, at least to me (...) is how sensual and ingenious and expressive and enveloping the film’s images are."

Owen Gleiberman: Variety
"A raw, lucid retelling, rendered spellbinding by its enveloping stylized design and its masterful black-and-white visuals, evoking the chiaroscuro textures of Carl Theodor Dreyer."

David Rooney: The Hollywood Reporter
"[It] becomes both a filmy dreamscape and taut documentary (...) A dazzling combination of simplicity, poetry and unsparing insight."

Ann Hornaday: The Washington Post
"Coen’s visual contrivances have something of Kurosawa and Welles, with some German expressionist shadows (...) This is a black-and-white world of violence and pain that scorches the retina (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"

Peter Bradshaw: The Guardian
"There is no comfort in Coen’s vision, but his rigor — and Washington’s vigor — are never less than exhilarating."

A. O. Scott: The New York Times
"Stark but utterly compelling, this chilling take on 'Macbeth' is a visually stunning tour de force. It’s as good as you’d expect from this cast and crew, which is saying something (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
