Again, three stars for fidelity to the text, and for the performances of Sinéad Cusack as Olivia and Felicity Kendal as Viola. If you haven't seen it yet, you should also check out She's the Man for its lively take on this story. I wonder what would happen if they took the She's the Man actors and tried to do Twelfth Night? What this one lacks is life and that liveliness you get with She's the Man. But it's worth one watch.
