Beautiful costuming and some delightful performances make this a great watch. The story is sweet, too. The leads are cute together.
I liked the framing with the production of Romeo & Juliet. While seeing Shakespeare write one of his play has been done a lot of ways, this one is moving and bittersweet.
I love movies about love, and this does a great job playing with its different forms. It also takes a narrative stand with its ending that impressed me.
