Measure for Measure

I really enjoyed this film. Had no idea what to expect going in, so was pleasantly surprised by the really good acting (Hugo Weaving is always a joy to watch!) . and the female lead in particular is amazingly good!! If you like really thoughtful, interesting films, then I can highly recommend this one.

Has so many layers & diverse and the Aussie cast portray their characters brilliantly, yes the few violent scenes are indeed extreme for a few short moments , step away from analysing it to align as an adaptation and enjoy it has a film and it digs deep and those that do that will be locked in from start to finish

I could not get through this film. The dialogue and the acting were terrible. Hugo Weaving is one of our very best, but even he couldn't deliver the lines with any conviction. What I did sit through, I found this murky, unpleasant and lacking in believability. If you want to see a great Aussie film with Hugo Weaving - 'Hearts & Bones' - much under appreciated film from 2019. I am over the over supply of bleak, nihilistic Australian films that our industry produces. And don't get me started on the horror genre!

Good luck to those who actually get to the end of 'Measure for Measure'

Despite the bad comments here, the movie has a clean and clear flow. All roles were played well. My favorite part of the movie; there is no exaggeration in any scene. It definitely deserves a chance to watch.

I realize this is an adaptation but there's some big problems. Firstly why does the cop automatically presume that the crazy meth killer is somehow attached to the drug dealer? There's loads of places to get meth, there's loads of dealers in Melbourne. Guy could have got it from anywhere. Even if it came from the Hugo Weaving character and his son all they have to do is deny it.

Second problem: How is the Hugo Weaving character - apparently a small-time dealer living in a housing estate - have cops that work for him? Especially a detective? I've never heard of any crime figure that powerful choosing to live in a housing estate.

Anyway I didn't get much beyond that. As soon as the two lovers went on a tour of "Melbourne Cliches" I found it a bit cringey and went to sleep. I may give it another go. I do like to support the local projects.
