Twelfth Night

About This Movie

The pacing feels just right; it doesn’t drag but gives you time to savor the comedy. The performances are rather engaging, especially how Viola navigates her disguise. The setting in Ilyria has a dreamy quality, almost ethereal at times. The practical effects and costuming are quite charming, giving it an authentic feel.
