Very true to the original, 17 January 2005
9/10
Author: Ivonne Rovira from Louisville, KY

Many have commented on what a remarkable performance the young actors give in this riveting movie. I would like to add that it is stunning how closely the director follows the original Othello. Except for updating the language a bit and moving the action to a South Carolina prep school, the story is virtually unchanged. Even some of the dialog mimics the original. Take special note of what Hugo and Odin say as the movie's climax progresses: It is nearly identical to what Shakespeare wrote.

It's such a great introduction to the Bard that I'm using "O" in my humanities class.
