View All

The wild story of young William Shakespeare's arrival onto the punk-rock theater scene in 16th century London -- the seductive, violent world where his raw talent faced rioting audiences, religious fanatics and raucous side-shows. It's a contemporary version of Shakespeare's life, played to a modern soundtrack that exposes all his recklessness, lustful temptations and brilliance.

Will Audience Reviews

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

ramamba I do love Shakespeare, he is the best thing happened to English language/literature for a thousand of years! Show is outstanding and actors are fantastic. Unfortunately for the show, it is way too gay for the audience:(((

Charles Herold (cherold) The problem with Will is not, strictly speaking, that it's historically inaccurate. The problem is an inconsistency of tone that comes out of a particular approach to historical inaccuracy. The series wants to both have an edgy modern quality and give a fun sense of Shakespeare's time, and that's a straddle it cannot hold. This is why the debates here between those complaining about historical inaccuracy and those mocking people for complaining about historical inaccuracy are beside the point. Monty Python and the Holy Grail was historically inaccurate, but it created a consistent world using pieces of history and fantasy and modernity. Same with Xena Warrior Princess. But Will just feels like a hodgepodge of ideas that are thematically incompatible, and it lacks the flair necessary to pull it off.The end result is not a show that fails because of inaccuracies, but rather a series that is just kind of annoying.

Cally Riggs Fab casting. I love the trade off betwixt Olde English and New Age acting. The Music is a breath of fresh air and of course its not true to history completely , its entertainment, stop being so stuffy. I adore it. Period pieces can go one of two ways either pomp or fun , this is fun at its best . Bravo to all and Laurie Davidson ... you totally own the screen.

robbarlow-54198 It saddens me that people are complaining that London is too colourful, that the characters are too simple and clownish, when that was exactly what Shakespeare himself did. He was bright, sexual, crude and clever and so was this. Maybe it's a little messy but it has so much spirit, so much fire. Every moment is interesting, and that was exactly how the man himself wrote.
