Beautiful and intelligent, she soon captures the attention of the handsome Prince Hamlet (George MacKay) and a forbidden love blossoms.

      The lyrical chanting heard at several pivotal points comes from the play itself. "Hamlet" Act 2 scene 2 page 5 when Ophelias father Polonius reads aloud a letter from Hamlet containing the lines "Doubt that the stars are fire Doubt that the sun doth move Doubt truth to be a liar But never doubt I love"
    • Goofs
      When Hamlet reads the Bible to Ophelia, he recites verses from the Song of Songs, but his book is open to "ParalipomenOn I", i. the first book of the Chronicles.
    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Ophelia: You may think you know my story. Many have told it. It has long passed into history... into myth.

      Ophelia: I have seen more of heaven and hell than most people dream of. But I was always a willful girl, and followed my heart, and spoke my mind. And it is high time I should tell you my story myself.

    Interesting take on Hamlet

    Hard to believe the hostility directed against this movie. It's not Hamlet, but another take on the story from the viewpoint of Ophelia. The director chose to show the protagonist as a strong women. Enjoyed the character development and the storyline. Directing was solid. All the actors were quite believable in their roles.
