A mess of pottage

"A thick and indigestible pottage populated by most of the English actors left out of 'Harry Potter,' this is a Bard movie for birthers ... The apparently earnest 'Anonymous' is weirdly contradictory: It presents itself as an attempt to bring  overdue justice to one artist by practicing character assassination on another. What's distressing about the film, however, isn't its plodding incoherence or wild-eyed credulousness but its misplaced priority: It suggests that what's most interesting about this writer we call Shakespeare is not the genius of his words but the puzzle of his identity."
