Reviews

Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
Theatrically ambitious, musically busy, and in the end cinematically inert - clearly reflects the authorship of myth-loving director Julie Taymor.

The A.V. Club - Keith Phipps
The best thing about Taymor's Tempest is also the worst: It's not stunning but it is sturdy, a handsome-enough showcase of a film that never really comes to life. It plays like a challenge politely declined.

Boxoffice Magazine - John P. McCarthy
Compact if not cohesive, this is an Age of Aquarius-meets-"Mamma Mia"! distillation of The Tempest.
50
The Hollywood Reporter - Unnamed
Far less daring than her 1999 "Titus," which took an electrifying, stylized approach of a lesser-known play, The Tempest in comparison looks disappointingly middle-of-the-road.

Variety - Leslie Felperin
A Tempest so kitschy, yet curiously drab and banal.
