About This Movie

Kiss Me, Kate (2024) directed by Bartlett Sher is this fascinating blend of comedy and music, set in a vibrant West End atmosphere. You’ve got these two divorced actors who find themselves navigating their personal drama while performing a musical version of The Taming of the Shrew. It’s interesting how the lines blur between their roles and reality, creating this layer of complexity and humor. The pacing feels right, with the musical numbers punctuating the unfolding chaos. The performances stand out—there’s a rawness to their chemistry that feels authentic. Practical effects are used sparingly but effectively to enhance the stage experience. It’s this delightful mix of old-school charm and modern sensibilities that makes it an intriguing watch.
