Macbeth in Manhattan is a 1999 American drama film directed by Greg Lombardo, starring Gloria Reuben, Nick Gregory, David Lansbury, John Glover and Harold Perrineau.
Sarah Hepola of The Austin Chronicle wrote that Lombardo has "pulled off the unlikely by digging inside perhaps the bleakest of all of Shakespeare's plays and not only making us think, but also making us laugh."[1]
Emanuel Levy of Variety wrote that the film is "Nicely produced and decently acted" and that it "makes good use of a contempo New York setting to breathe new life into a classic play."[2]
TV Guide wrote, "This intriguing and cleverly conceived independent production is undone by two miscalculations. Its light-hearted treatment of the actors' love triangle can't hold a candle to the unrelenting tragedy of MacBeth, and the personable cast isn't as good with Shakespeare as they with romantic comedy."[3]
