The Hungry (2017)

Twitter Capsule: Some memorably nasty images along the way but perhaps too eager to hit them, thus rushing and reducing a complex story.

VOR:   Transcultural Shakespeare adaptations always pique my interest, but this one guts (sorry) much of the play, without adding enough else.
