"Anonymous"
I haven't seen "Anonymous", but I must recommend Laura Miller's review on Salon.com, to which I was pointed by sensiblecat. This line alone makes it worth the effort:
The result is a bombastic, flashback-ridden farrago of skulking villains, scenery-chewing actors, sub-Ivanhoe-style dialogue ("If he is to be my king, then it is my sacred duty to be with him in battle") and what seems like a dozen pretty, flaxen-haired men storming in and out of rooms in snits. Through it all, Rhys Ifans -- playing Edward De Vere, Earl of Oxford and current favorite among the 50-plus candidates proposed as alternate authors of the plays -- swans around wearing a fixed half-smile of campy soulfulness, exactly as Vincent Price might have played Jesus.
