Our Review

Were the World Mine is an imaginative gay musical that transforms Shakespeare into a colourful fantasy about desire, acceptance and the thrill of rewriting the rules. The film’s budget occasionally shows, but its songs, visual charm and romantic sincerity make it an enduring audience favourite.
