Billy Crudup or Claire Danes but they are equally fantastic in this clever work. The plot is intricate as a Shakespearean comedy, but more easily followed, and the performances of the supporting cast, including James Fox and Rupert Everett are up to the task, as well.
I won't bother to describe much of this film because from the writing to the costumes, to the editing... it's all excellence.
The film is great fun but also leaves the viewer with much to think about regarding theater, gender--- well, you get the idea.
The climactic theater scene elevates the film to a level few attain--- especially these days. And, it brings off what very, very few films have managed: it convincingly shows a play.
Bravo!!!
