Grand Theft Hamlet

...a crazy film that appeals to a vast audience and could damn well introduce Shakespearean classics to a new generation of virtual gang-bangers, pimps, and hos.

...in-game Shakespeare performance is brilliantly exciting.

...of all the pieces of art to have emerged from lockdown, we can say with confidence that Sam Crane and Pinny Grylls’ Grand Theft Hamlet ... is easily the funniest. It also, more unexpectedly, may be one of the most cathartic, too.

...what ultimately stays with you is the actor duo’s commendable ability to find inspiration and poetic gravitas in silliness, horseplay and tomfoolery, even (and especially) in the darkest of times.

Shakespeare comes to Los Santos in a poignantly hilarious documentary about creating art in a crisis.

In the words of its lead actor, and his shirtless, goateed, princely avatar, as he catches a hail of bullets yet again: “You can’t stop art, motherfuckers.”
