I saw this when it came out and thought it was overrated. Watching it again as an adult I realize it's embarrassingly r-slurred:
I can't deny she was a qt.
The whole plot is explaining how Shakespeare came up with the story of "Romeo and Juliet*, but irl the story has already been told in English plays and goes back to Italy.
There's lots of weird sexual behavior, I guess because "omg lol it's olden times but people are fricking".
Gwenyth Paltrow doesn't try to sell rocks to stick in your kitty. This is implausible.
Shakespeare is portrayed as a struggling young artist disrespected by society. Irl when he was writing his plays he was older, famous, and pretty rich. He was part owner of a company that worked for the queen and a household name.
Queen Elizabeth is rude and bitchy for some reason, not someone charismatic who inspires loyalty. For some reason she watches the play in the theater with commoners instead of having the company she patronizes come to her. This despite the constant assassination plots against her.
Shakespeare is estranged from his wife, as many tards like to imagine. This is a flying saucer level conspiracy theory based entirely on his will leaving his assets to his daughter not her. But he didn't run out on his wife. He spent most of his life in Stratford with her.
But the really tarded thing that makes it laughably awful is that everyone talks like they're in a Shakespeare play. Real people didn't speak in poetry, they spoke in fricking English. It was much closer to how we talk now than the flowery stylized language used in plays. I mean ffs, how exhausting would it be to stay in iambic pentameter 24/7?
Famous Shakesperian actor Patrick Stewart's reaction.
So to sum up, it's a movie for midwits who think they're highbrow but only know Romeo and Juliet, the basic b-word Shakespeare play they know from high school.

Foid nonsense, the movie. It's acceptable to watch if your foid wants to see it, but otherwise so self respecting straggot would ever consider doing so.
Go see The Talented Mr. Ripley if you are in need of a Gwyneth in her prime fix.

I really liked looking at Joseph Fiennes, I'll tolerate it.
The movie came out right after Elizabeth (he was in that too), and the public was creaming themselves over period drama films at the time.

All gynecologists are straight homofascists actually.
Think about it. Yeah you think woah, he's looking at kitty all day. But really, what kind of kitty is he looking at? Healthy, nicely trimmed or clean shaven? Well, some, sure, but a lot of the time, he's sticking his hands and face into old, hairy gash, with questionable hygiene and possible diseases.
Only a man who wants to develop a deep contempt and disgust for the gussy can do this job - logically, an aspiring homofascist who wants to suppress his straightness.
