Slightly disappointed

Martin Freeman gives a solid performance and maybe it's what the Director asked for but for me the pacing is too fast. Lacks the punch of the original performance by Bennett himself. Entertaining without quite hitting the mark.

AMAZING!

Amazing performance by Martin Freeman! My favourite so far. Very impressive, 10/10 :)

Chip in the Sugar

While it's nice to see some of the original monologues redone, you also risk an unfavourable amount of comparison between old/new.

Unfortunately despite Martin Freeman trying his best, the original comes out still feeling more engaging and enjoyable.
