Rating: 3/5 -- It's never anything less than interesting, though I felt it didn't quite fulfil its potential, and the repetition of material at the beginning and end is disconcerting. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- There's barely a wasted moment in the film, which runs a brisk 76 minutes and contains no female roles. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- A fascinatingly perceptive film that blurs the lines between art and reality, Caesar Must Die brings a whole new intensity to this Elizabethan examination of betrayal and duplicity. Full Review

Rating: A- -- There's an intensity and emotional accuracy to the performances that's just stunning, particularly Striano's Brutus, as he longs for death and release. Full Review

Despite its lean and hungry look, the Taviani Brothers' Caesar Must Die may be the most effectively gimmicked version of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar in the 75 years since Orson Welles's modern-dress, anti-fascist staging. Full Review
