The Tragedy of Macbeth Review

William Shakespeare’s Macbeth has existed in many different iterations in the centuries since it was first put to paper. There have been modern interpretations that ditch the sing-songy language, and more faithful versions that choose to expand on the framework originally. It's a story that has been done to death but when director Joel Coen, working without his brother Ethan, seeks to adapt The Bard’s popular fable and enlists the help of Oscar winners Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand to play its two central characters, it’s impossible not to take notice.
