I love this play. After watching Tom Hiddleston's performance as Posthumus (and Cloten) a few years ago, I knew the lines by heart and was expecting something rich. This adaptation has excellent performances (as I was expecting) by Harris, Leguizamo and Hawke. Even Dakota Johnson has some honest moments, despite lacking experience. But Badgley was not at his best, to say the least. The script is to blame, as I feel Cymbeline needs more time to evolve the parts. It was a pleasure to enjoy Vondie Curtis-Hall taking another Shakespearian role again (his first since Romeo + Juliet), and I was delighted when Delroy Lindo gave Belarius a warmth that was beyond his own lines. It's a beautiful play, and sadly the last act feels rushed. Anyway, It's a good movie, and I still wonder if it would benefit of a longer cut.
