I finally managed to see Coriolanus today. It was outstanding. Ralph Fiennes was great both as star and director, Gerard Butler as Aufidius did better than I had hoped for (though I'd have preferred to see Michael Fassbender in the role), and Vanessa Redgrave was stellar as Volumnia.

See it if you possibly can. I almost missed it because it was playing at the tiny little art cinema, the one that barely advertises and is only intermittently listed on movie websites. I'd find it weird that with Ralph Fiennes's name behind it, the film isn't getting wider distribution, but this is obscure and grim Shakespeare rather than Oscar-bait Shakespeare.

Oh, awesome! I'm probably going to miss this one in theaters but everything I've heard about it sounds great.

Wasn't it so great? I had no expectations, and it was excellent.
