More travesty than tragedy.

There's a lot to talk about but so much outrageousness that the end effect is wearying and not a little absurd.
Taymor makes the action clear and easy to follow with her bold physicalization of the story and forceful direction of an astutely chosen cast.
Makes the best possible argument for a cautionary drama that contemplates the absolute worst in us.
Remains a sampling of stagy scenes barreling to a gruesome climax, parts greater than the sum of the whole.
A brilliant and absurd film of "Titus Andronicus" that goes over the top, doubles back and goes over the top again.
Once you get used to the broad gestures, visual stylings and reach-for-the-sky emotions, you may find yourself luxuriating in this movie's undeniable grandeur.
