While I certainly liked other aspects of the experience, as a whole it left me a little cold. Much of this, I suspect, lies in severity of the cuts, most evident in the handling of the main plot (the Oberon/Titania quarrel is a sub-plot, after all-- although one wouldn't know it from this adaptation). True, there's not much difference between Demetrius and Lysander (which is sort of the point, I suppose), but, in this production at least, I never cared at all for Hermia and missed Helena's comic self-pity (trimmed as it was). To be even more frank, I didn't find one of the four principal lovers' performances to be more than competent (although one should not take even this for granted in a filmed production), much less memorable. Others have spoken derisively of the boy's dream that frames the play, but I thought it was an interesting conceit, if not terribly original. For the life of me I can't understand why it is so controversial here since he speaks no lines, and his presence allows for some very interesting point-of-view shifts. On the whole, I would recommend it, but as far as filmed adaptations go, I probably still prefer the (slightly stodgy) BBC filmed production from the early 80s (which, it will be admitted, has a host of problems of its own). In terms of imagination of conception, however, this one is truly remarkable and should not be missed by fans of the play (everyone, I hope). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emphasizes one aspect of the play *by B***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 9, 2013* This is the fourth rendition of Shakespeare's play I have seen on the small screen, and it is possibly the best so far, with the one reservation that it emphasizes one aspect of the play which I am not sure the Bard would have made quite so weighty. It is filled with modern gimmicks used to emphasize this aspect (which I am not revealing, should that be a "spoiler" for some.)One of the gimmicks in the play is that Theseus and Hippolyta are played by the same actors as Oberon and Titania and the Puck / Robin Goodfellow actor also plays Philostrate, the master of the revels. These fit, each for a different reason. The story is primarily about four pairs of men and women, and their relations, so it is a neat conceit to have two of those pair played by the same actors (although the costuming and makeup effectively hid that fact until I saw the credits.) I recognized the Puck / Philostrate dual role easily, partly because those who know the play easily think of Puck as the major domo of the entire story, not just the play within a play.Of the three main stories in the play, this version gives more attention to the story of the fairies and to the plot with the six "mechanicals" than it does to the story of the four young lovers. This is accentuated by the fact that Lysander and Demetrius wear similar garb, almost like a uniform, in order to add credence to part of the Puck / Oberon business.The story of the "mechanicals", especially the role of Bottom, is not quite up to the realization of that role by the cast of the 1999 Hollywood version, with Kevin Kline as Bottom, although overall, I prefer this film to the Hollywood version. There is something very reminiscent of the ballet in the way the business of the actors is blocked out, with surreal props of doors without walls and light bulbs hanging from bare wires to act as the stars. Oberon, Titania, and Puck are done better than in the Hollywood version.This version clearly adds to Puck's final monologue things which were cut from the Hollywood version, just as it cuts speeches from the story of the four young lovers.It is almost impossible to recommend this over the Hollywood version, which is easier to understand and follow, especially with all the familiar faces in the main roles. The Hollywood version has a better balance between the three stories, which means that the peril faced by Hermia is given its proper importance; although this version does a better job at showing the effect this situation has on the relation between Hippolyta and Theseus. I would watch the Hollywood version first, then watch this version. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Not for PG 13 at all *by D***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 9, 2022* This is not a good kid movie, it was difficult to see certain scenes for kids from age 13-18, I don't understand why the make these movie a classic one --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/2824146-a-midsummer-nights-dream](https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/2824146-a-midsummer-nights-dream) --- *Product available on Desertcart Egypt* *Store origin: EG* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
