A Shakespeare movie that lives and breathes like few others.
Keith Uhlich, Time Out New York

Othello came together in defiance of any unifying principle beyond the scrappy vision of its director. It's a work of seat-of-the-pants grandeur.
Stephanie Zacharek, Village Voice

There is no excuse not to see it.
Anthony Lane, New Yorker

Low-budget but visually stunning.
