- tomcam 3y agoI thought he overacted that role. I feel it requires a much lighter touch than most actors give it.
- as_bntd 3y agoIt was my first encounter with Hamlet so I didn't have another frame of reference to judge the performance. And I had already watched him in other movies such as Rebecca (I didn't like the movie except for the (some of the) end) so maybe I was used to his acting.
