The New York Times
Mr. Scott's is something that must be seen. It is, in a word, compelling. - 88
New York Post
You can tell this is a smart take on Hamlet from the first wordless opening shots. - 80
Variety
In one of the most accessible versions of Hamlet yet committed to film, Campbell Scott's self-helmed Great Dane is more than ever a man for our time. - 70
TV Guide Magazine
The cast is similarly impressive; they're American through and through, and thankfully refrain from affecting anything remotely resembling a British stage accent. - 63
New York Daily News
As for Scott, his rather wry interpretation is competent, but neither daring nor insightful enough to arouse any great passion. - 30
Village Voice
An aura of dust and mothballs evidently leaves a capable cast feeling woozy.
