Genre: Drama / Romance Director(s): Carlo Carlei Release Date: 11 October 2013 Movie rating: 5.8

Here is yet another film adaptation of a famous Shakespeares playwright. For all the lovers of classic films and film adaptations of the old tales and romantic times, here it is, "Romeo and Juliet". As we all know the story, Romeo, played by Douglas Booth, and Juliet, played by Hailee Steinfeld, meet during the masked ball that's been organised in the honour of Juliets birthday. Since they come from the families that hate each other, they hadn't had a chance to meet and get to know their enemies. That's exactly why they fall in love with each other, not knowing what that love will do to their families, but most of all to themselves. In this 118 minutes history drama, directed by Carlo Carlei, audience is taken on an emotional roller-coaster, getting to experience love, hatred, sorrow, as well as determination and rebellion against ones family. Hailee Steinfeld gets into this role as if she was Juliet herself in the past life, shows every bit of emotions that are going on inside of her. For strong actress like this, her fellow actor must be equally good, if not even better. Douglas Booth truly justifies the honour he got to play the role of Romeo. And did you notice who played Romeos enemy Tybald? It was amazing Ed Westwich, whom you might remember by his role of millionaires son Chuck Bass in popular TV show "The Gossip Girl". It is always inspiring to see actors like that in different light.
