The film's bear-baiting, barnyard pageantry is less convincing than its clammy locations.
Village Voice
Polanski's worldview of brutish power-plays couldn't be more at home in Shakespeare's medieval times

Sin Magazine
Rating: 4/5 --
It's a model of how to stay true to Shakespeare and film without sacrificing one for the other, and if that wasn't evident in 1971, it ought to be obvious now.

The Dissolve
Polanski's evident desire to elicit understated, naturalistic performances from his cast also underplays the poetry of the play...

Time Out
Rating: 4/4 --
It's as if the play has been inhabited by Hell's Angels who are quick studies. All of this, of course, makes Polanski's Macbeth more interesting than if he had done your ordinary, respectable, awe-stricken tiptoe around Shakespeare.

Rating: 4/4 --
not only represents an apex of Polanski's darkest sensibilities, but it is one of the most fascinating of Shakespearean adaptations

Product Description:
William Shakespeare's immortal play about a Scottish warrior (Jon Finch) whose wife's lust for power transforms him into inhuman monster is given it's rawest, most brutal screen treatment in this version by Roman Polanski (ROSEMARY'S BABY, CHINATOWN). Filmed in suitably bleak locales and imbued with nudity not usually seen in the works of Shakespeare--along with realistically gory murders--this MACBETH is singular and sensational, but is not for the young or faint of heart.
