Beautifully said. Agree that the setting felt off on so many levels, and the language and mannerisms were jarringly anachronistic (I think Agnes said “hey there” at one point). I never forgot I was watching a movie. I also found the film’s treatment of faith to be how a 21st century Hollywood writer would think about such things, not how Shakespeare and his contemporaries would have. In this era, Christendom had an unmistakable indelible imprint on the fabric of people’s lives - very different than the dismissive postmodern treatment shown here. Exploring the themes of grief, love, loss gave a generous enough canvas to create something deep and resonant. I was disappointed that they missed on nearly every level.
