Entertainment Reviews:
Fiennes creates a pitiless world without refuge, where neither the soft nor the unbending can survive.
Sight and Sound
Rating: 3/5 --
The performances are uniformly excellent, and Fiennes owns the role of Coriolanus, conceiving of him as a proto-Kurtz with his descent into wilfully renegade activities.

Rating: 4/4 --
It's a masterful piece of work that would be a real achievement for any director, let alone one making his debut.

Washington Examiner
3 stars out of 5 -- Debut-director Ralph Fiennes takes on the title role for himself and he turns in a charging, relentless performance in a film both hyper-intelligent and self-aware...
Box Office
Ralph Fiennes has given us war and politics on a grand operatic scale in his ambitious and at times thrilling rendering of one of Shakespeare's lesser known works -- CORIOLANUS.
Los Angeles Times
It's genre writing that entertains while tapping into enduring truths.

Rating: 3/5 --
Coriolanus fails to successfully create a believable environment for this verbose narrative to exist.

Product Description:
Ralph Fiennes' directorial debut, CORIOLANUS, scripted by John Logan, updates one of Shakespeare's more difficult plays without sacrificing the Bard's original dialogue. Set in modern times, the movie stars Fiennes as the title character, a fierce General able to fight Rome's most dreaded enemies as well as quell civil unrest from a lack of food. When politicians convince Coriolanus to become a political leader, his natural fierceness and lack of political instincts lead to him being disgraced by other politicians and eventually forced to leave Rome after being branded a traitor. He then joins with his former enemies to invade Rome, and the only person who may be able to talk him out of this revenge plan is his mother (Vanessa Redgrave). The film, which features a portion of the play's dialogue transferred into the mouths of talking-heads on television news shows, played at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.
