Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard are electric as the Scottish power couple driven to murder by ambition—or fate?—in this brisk, visceral Shakespeare pic for the ages.
By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes. As the shortest, sharpest and most stormily violent of the Bard’s tragedies, the Scottish play may be the most cinematic. Michael Fassbender’s prowling energy electrifies the screen as the fearless warrior undone by ambition, and Marion Cotillard's Lady Macbeth is ice to his fire. "Blockbuster battle scenes, spine-tingling staging, utterly believable performances: is this as good as Shakespeare on film gets, or what?" (The Telegraph). D: Justin Kurzel, US/UK, 2015, 113m
