Okay, back from a screening of It's All True. At the Q&A after the screening, Kenneth Branagh told the audience the film was greenlit early this year, quickly cast and shot in 30 days and we were literally only the third audience to have seen the film! It's opening December 21st for a one week only run in L.A. (and New York I think) in order to qualify for the 2018 Oscars. As to the film itself, it's a solid piece of entertainment and if you're a Shakespeare buff, you'll be in heaven. Branagh and Judi Dench play Mr. and Mrs. Shakespeare and it follows the last 2 or 3 years in Shakespeare's life. Fortunately, it's pretty lively and not stuffy like some Masterpiece Theatre production. I'm sure you already know if this kind of film is your cuppa tea or not by now.
