Ophelia

Gorgeous cinematography, costumes, and sets dominate this captivating, well-acted, imaginative, evenly paced, 114-minute, 2018 film adapted from Lisa Klein's 2006 novel and retells the Shakespeare's classic Hamlet from the perspective of feisty, smart, beautiful lady in waiting Ophelia (Daisy Ridley), who is close to her widowed father (Dominic Mafham), as she falls in love with the handsome, revenge-fueled prince (George MacKay) who despises his uncle (Clive Owen) when he assumed the Danish throne after the death of his father and in turn distances himself from the potion-addicted queen (Naomi Watts).
