Saw it on DVD, and in spite of the reviews this film will stay with me much longer than all the blockbusters I've seen this year.

Once I got past my phobia of indifferent craftsmanship, the play revealed itself for a masterwork of literature.
Recommended, if looking for a film experience that matures/satisfies AFTER seeing it.
