Dir. Max Webster, UK, 2025, 114 mins. Cast. David Tennant, Cush Jumbo.
David Tennant and Cush Jumbo lead a stellar cast in a new 5-star production of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, filmed live at the Donmar Warehouse in London, especially for the big screen. Unsettling intimacy and brutal action combine at breakneck speed as Max Webster (Life of Pi, Henry V) directs this tragic tale of love, murder, and nature’s power of renewal. With staging ‘full of wolfish imagination and alarming surprise’ the immersive 5.1 cinema surround sound places the audience inside the minds of the Macbeths, asking are we ever really responsible for our actions?
