See it if The score is beautiful--as are the voices. And the leads are gems of the Theater.
Don't see it if I couldn't get past the campy direction and cheesy takes. I guess this just wasn't for me. If it wasn't for Bernadette I would have left.

See it if You want to see a powerful Othello and Desdemona relationship, are interested in a fantastic Emilia, are a fan of this great play
Don't see it if You want to see the actors. The tall ensemble block the leads (when the set isn't). You think Iago should be a dramatic character.

See it if The film is transformed into a stunning, simple work of art. The tension is high, though the script never hits you over the head with it.
Don't see it if It's probably helpful to know something of the tensions in that part of the world...but I can't imagine anyone not being riveted by this.

See it if You have a time traveling machine. This is better than August Osage County. It provides context for metaphor and poetry for dialogue.
Don't see it if You are boring and banal.
