Director Justin Kurzel seems to have set out to answer the question, "What if the supremely ambitious Thane of Glamis (played here by Michael Fassbender) was a druggie?"
Matthew Lickona, San Diego Reader

Top critics, in their words
Fresh
This screen adaptation of the famous Scottish play is very Scottish, very bloody and very clever, if inconsistently so.
Kate Taylor, Globe and Mail

"MacBeth" is serious business indeed, and in the hands of director Justin Kurzel, it becomes bloody serious business. Very bloody serious business.
Tom Long, Detroit News
Fresh
All blood and ice, a stirring, unflinching retelling of Shakespeare's tale of a Scottish thane, his ambitious wife and a terrible deed that haunts them, leaving their hands forever stained.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Fresh
It stars Michael Fassbender as the murderous general of infamy and Marion Cotillard as his complicit wife. Two of the world's finest actors, they make a magnetic pair.
