This ROMEO AND JULIET is set in 1950s Verona, and it’s mucho, mucho Italiano: there’s a lot of “ciao”-ing and stereotype-trading matriarchal shouting. But it also proves an effective backdrop: there’s a whiff of Mafia machismo, a sense that la dolce vita is undercut with an ever-present threat of violence. There’s stylish glamour to the ladies’ wide skirts and the men’s sharp suits, but café culture is also quick to erupt into a brawl. But Branagh’s Verona largely persuades as a steamy setting for these star-crossed lovers. ~ Independent
