horizontal line

[Available Jan. 14 on Apple TV+.] Stunning visuals and austere, minimal sets dominate Joel Coen's powerful, captivating, black-and-white, eerie, artistic, well-acted, somber, star-studded (Ralph Ineson, Corey Hawkins, Stephen Root, Sean Patrick Thomas, Moses Ingram, Harry Melling, Bertie Carvel, Ethan Hutchison, Alex Hassell, Brian Thompson, Matt Helm, and Richard Short), 115-minute film adapted from William Shakespeare's tragic play and performed in old English in which ambitious, greedy, power-seeking Lord Macbeth (Denzel Washington) hears a prophetic message on the battlefield by three body-contorting witches (Kathryn Hunter) that he will be king and with the encouragement of his manipulative, ruthless wife (Frances McDormand) decides to murder the Scottish king (Brendan Gleeson) and assume the throne with ultimately dire consequences.
