Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4/5 --
[Romeo & Juliet] is a brave piece of film-making for those who appreciate the storytelling magic of music and can't resist the theatrics of a musical.

New Zealand Herald
With well over 150 adaptations and imaginations of what is perhaps Shakespeare's most famous, and definitely most adapted, work on screen, director Carlo Carlei's new Romeo & Juliet is, in a word, masterful.

Rating: C- --
What can you say about a Romeo and Juliet that lacks heat, romance, eroticism, or lyricism? Mercifully, not much.

Christian Science Monitor
There are reasons to see this Romeo and Juliet-it's just a shame that Romeo and Juliet are not chief among them.

Slate
"Romeo and Juliet" is too soapy and improbable to count among the Bard's very best plays, but it surely has some of his best dialogue, and messing it up this much is close to inexcusable.

Juliet should be a girl, but the story's trajectory of self-sacrifice requires her to become a woman. Steinfeld gets the girl part exactly right, but she botches the transformation.

New York Magazine/Vulture
Carlo Carlei's adap adopts a traditional, unfussy approach, with characters garbed in puffy-sleeved medieval finery, sauntering around gorgeous Italian locations and spouting the Bard’s extravagant dialogue in easy-to-follow soundbites...

Product Description:
William Shakespeare's timeless tale of love and tragedy gets a 21st century makeover in this update starring Douglas Booth as Romeo, and Hailee Steinfeld as Juliet. Directed by Carlo Carlei (THE FLIGHT OF THE INNOCENT) and adapted by Julian Fellowes, ROMEO & JULIET finds the innocent young lovers caught up in a bitter feud between their warring families, the Montagues and Capulets. Determined not to let the sins of their families' turbulent pasts stand in the path of true love, Romeo and Juliet run away to wed in secrecy. Alas, happiness was not to come, for in time the flames of their youthful passion will consume them both. Paul Giamatti, Kodi Smit-McPhee, and Stellan Skarsgard co-star.
