Extraordinary! A remarkable adaptation, coming as close as possible to the source material. Although a little long, it is seriously engaging
In my opinion, best movie adaptation of the play
Well done. Makes you enter a totally different time period
Shakespeare without much in the way of artistic license.
Zeffirelli makes his movies as poetic as it gets. Not everyone's cup of tea but we can agree that he is a great artist.
Very well made Shakespeare. They definitely adapted this well from the stage to screen.
Great film, acting is great and the music is perfect for the setting. Love it
Decent adaptation, but dated and a little boring. You already know the story
The best adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. Zefirelli's masterpiece.
They say this is the definitive Romeo and Juliet. It’s fairly close.
