I wonder if Branagh used some of that prosthetic forehead budget to get him some fucking lips! The man has no lips! Love him, despite being a shit to our girl Emma Thompson.

I saw the film today. I loved it, but I suspect you need to be fairly familiar with Shakespeare and his era to fully enjoy the film. It's not a mass audience genre piece like Shakespeare in Love, it's a beautifully observed chamber drama about Shakespeare's final days and his family struggles. It's pretty obvious "Blackadder" co-writer Ben Elton did an enormous amount of research, based on my admittedly vague general knowledge of that period of Shakespeare's life.
Doyle's score is lovely but subtle, with a central melody that gets turned into a song over the end credits, performed by his daughter Abigail.
I hope we get an album, even if it's download-only, but the film itself seems to be vanishing without a trace, sadly. It is only playing for one week on one screen each in LA and NY, and when I saw it today in Santa Monica there were only about ten other people in the audience.

Does the movie include enough music for an album?
I would think so. Felt like about 20-30 mins of score in the 101 min film.

Apparently, some of that research ended up in Upstart Crow.

Anyone know when the album comes out in the US or UK, and whether there will be a CD in either market?
