Daisy Ridley’s latest film wonders what Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” would be like if it was told from the perspective of Hamlet’s potential bride-to-be, Ophelia.
Claire McCarthy directs this somewhat gender-flipped version of “Hamlet” titled “Ophelia,” in which Ridley’s titular character takes the center stage. Semi Chellas adapted the play, and the film also stars Naomi Watts as Queen Gertrude, George MacKay as Prince Hamlet, Clive Owen as Claudius and Tom Felton as Laertes.
