Now, when it comes to astonishing Shakespearean acting, one is left speechless following a viewing of the unbelievable performance Keanu Reeves made in Branagh's film production of
Much Ado About Nothing. If the playing's the thing, it's also aptly named ... and this ain't no rose, no matter how fondly told.
