Not entirely a movie, not entirely a stage play, a great mix of both, which gives this version of Romeo and Juliet such uniqueness and freshness. Considering, that the play takes place in the modern world, the characters age shift works perfectly fine. The language is still poetic and old-fashioned, but everything looks natural and alive. Especially I liked the close-ups shots, that makes viewer more involved, as we ourselves are not a distant bystander, but participant of the events. Jessie Buckley and Josh O'Connor give outstanding performances, although these characters were played by many many other actors, they succeed to make their Romeo and Juliet relationship special and memorable. I loved the diversity of the cast and a brief lgbtq+ representation, both of which fully meets modern realities. If you watch it with open heart and mind you will 100% enjoy it. Art is eternal because of the many ways it can be interpreted and remain actual even after a five hundred years. I highly recommend this piece to everyone, who loves Shakespeare, theatre and not afraid of experimentations and interpretations of classics.
