    Shakespeare in Love entertains with a nuanced, and interesting approach to Shakespearian theatre life with great characters, and stunning performances. However, the movie contains too many rushed plot points and conveniently solved conflicts to truly be completely satisfying. Still, the movie depicts a charming and romantic love story, and it is well worth a watch.
