For those who do not know the basic story of William Shakespeare's 'Macbeth', this movie may seem a bit...odd. You may want to read some Cliff's Notes before watching if you don't know the story. Maura Tierney performs almost flawlessly in this film. I love her in other things, but her portrayal of Pat McBeth was amazing. She captures the essence of 'Lady Macbeth' and puts a new twist on the character, that is both hilarious, and disturbing(in a good way) Tierney's husband, Billy Morrisette who wrote the film should be considered for the Academy Awards. He took a giant leap of faith with this film, and came out with flying colors. This film could have bombed...big time, but a perfect cast, excellent writing, and almost simple effects make for a perfect movie.
