   Critics consensus This ragged take on Othello may take liberties with the source material, but Orson Welles' genius never fails to impress. More reviews on Rotten Tomatoes

1. • • Film is an impressive rendering of the Shakespearean tragedy. Beginning is catchy in lensing, plasticity and eye appeal, but a bit murky in development. After the marriage of Othello and Desdemona over the protests of her father, the film takes a firm dramatic line and crescendos as the warped Iago brings on the ensuing tragic results.

   Is Othello a horror movie?

   • To paraphrase Jonathan Rosenbaum, Welles’ Othello is almost a horror film in terms of its pungent atmosphere and and anxious tone. Welles seems to have merely turned up the existing subtexts in the script of the play to shift the story’s content into a whole new artistic creation. In many ways, Othello represents a median for his filmography.

   Is Shakespeare's Othello a good movie?

   • But his effective use of memorable and unorthodox camera angles and expressionistic lighting cannot make up for the crudeness and choppiness of his adaptation of Shakespeare's original work. Othello as portrayed by Welles is a mammoth presence, but he is perhaps the only character to which the film does any justice.
