Thank you. I have just heard about this film and got confused because it sounded very similar to one that I saw a few years ago, the name of which I struggle to remember, that was about Shakespeare's family(which was an interesting film, almost a murder-mystery without the murder.) It's good to know that it is worthwhile visually as that is half the point of film in my book. I completely relate to what you are saying about ambiguity. I dislike stories that are completley black and white, pure hero and pure villain. A lot of Jacobean drama has this ambiguity, I think this is one of the reasons it is so timeless.
Yes I am sure that's the one. It's strange because looking at the character list there are two actresses down as playing Judith. (Shakespeare's daughter.) And then looking at the preview, she doesn't feature at all in it - and yet to me she was definitely one of the main characters. Anyway - a good film!

Thank you so much Sarah for your comment, I enjoyed reading it. I will try to find the other movie you mention, sounds like I would like it.
I wish I could remember the name! I think it must have been 4-5 years ago. Yes I think you would like it.
Might it be All Is True fromm 2018 with Kenneth Branagh and Judi Dench?
