First and foremost, do not make the same misjudgment of this film that I did. This is not a complete recreation of 'Hamlet' in Grand Theft Auto, rather a documentary on the making of this concept/production with glimpses of its execution.

That being said, I really appreciated the central idea behind this piece and found the journey that this documentary was portarying to be full of humour, honesty, and integrity. In a time of lockdown and social isolation, it was genuinely moving to see how certain uses of technology, unusually combined with the timelessness of theatre/Shakespeare, could bring people together, even between those of different backgrounds, experiences, and languages.

I was surprised by how a guy in a green alien skin endeared me. Despite everyone involved in this documentary being visually portrayed by these otherwise unexpressive video game characters, the voice overs really shine in making the audience emotionally connect with these people, their passions, and lives.

The one drawback I can think to this documentary is that of the pacing. Even though this film is only 90 minutes, something about it slowed down time for me - though I'm not sure why, and I may be the only one who felt this.

However, this pacing issue does not put me off recommending this documentary to others, due to it's sincerity and uniqueness in concept.
