My review is about to be pretty basic, mostly because I was too bored to pay deep attention to other than the love triangles. Brilliant performances by Benedict Cumberbatch and Rebecca Hall. Adelaide Clemens was alright but nothing special. I don't think she was right for the role and Hall's character supposing to be a kind of antagonist, blatantly outshined her. Honestly, the ending just made me mad because I was rooting for Sylvia (Hall) and Christopher (Cumberbatch), but they both annoyingly failed to make things work despite their deep love for each other; especially Christopher in my opinion, but maybe I'm biased because I'm a woman. I think the show could've been a lot better if they had cast someone else for Valentine (Clemens), because she made me irritated every time she came on screen. Hall's incredibly charismatic and magnetic performance didn't make matters better for Clemson. There was just no comparison between the two and it was a heavily unbalanced casting. As for the storyline, it was entertaining if you're into plays and these types of films, but the old style of talking made it a bit difficult for me keep up, and being an American, the accents didn't help lol. It wasn't a bad watch, but the actors sold the show more than the story in my opinion.
