Romeo + Juliet

Shakespeare's ever-malleable romantic tragedy is revisited with this period-faithful adaptation that finds young Romeo (Douglas Booth) determined to woo the beautiful Juliet (Hailee Steinfeld) despite their families' bitter rivalry. Their doomed love runs its fateful course--tinged as ever with the sweetest sorrow--courtesy of a lively acting ensemble and a liberty-taking script by "Downton Abbey" creator Julian Fellowes. Christian Cooke, Kodi Smit-McPhee, and Paul Giamatti co-star. 118 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English (SDH), Spanish; featurettes.
