I've seen King Lear as a play first, before watching this. I feel like this modern adaptation didn't work. Although it was a good effort, it didn't entirely capture as it would be as a play. Adapting the delivery on-screen rather than on-stage felt awkward and I felt that the characters couldn't entirely encapsulate the emotional range on-screen. The "modern" elements didn't work well and the fight scene between Edgar and Edmund was not great at all.

It may have been better if this was set in the past, rather than trying to incorporate modern elements as it loses the authenticity and brings up huge plot holes.
