...Guildenstern shows a remarkable depth of character, portraying a young man torn between duty to the reigning monarch and a friendship he truly holds dear. Similarly, Simon Day as Horatio does an impeccable job instilling some signs of life, all be they muted, in what may be the flattest character ever written. But for the most part all parties involved, from Claudius to Laertes, show a distinct lack of subtlety or careful characterization. In those instances where Hamlet is absent from the stage for an extended period of time, the production can become downright painful to watch...

...much of the movie centers round Carter and Carter alone, the other characters are left curiously two-dimensional, with no real reason for the audience to relate to them, and it's hard especially not to moan the unused talent of the marvelous Hannah in particular.

...BOOK'S last poem, "Searching for the Queen of Angels," soars the highest but at times falls the flattest. Mudd slips backwards from a love scene into memory, calling the past a "renewal" and detailing the history of the city. The poem start with a cleverly written but inherently dull account of everything from the founding of a city called La Ciudad de Nuestra Senora de Los Angeles to a group of kindergarten students (Mudd remembers) planting black walnuts. The past is a history assignment that needs to be done before government can studied, Mudd says...
