Branaghilliant - Henry V review by JD
Absolutely outstanding. The most gifted Shakespearian actors shine through the medium of celluloid. Branagh in particular is intensely moving during the soliloquies. A slightly anticlimactic musical piece at the end did not prevent the piece being totally uplifting.
