All Is True

With Much Ado About Nothing and Henry V already in his directing repertoire, this isn’t Kenneth Branagh’s first foray into bringing Shakespeare to the big screen. This sweet and sometimes melancholy tale features support from strong British pedigree such as Ian McKellen and Judi Dench, in a film that innovatively straddles fact and fiction.
