    The Dresser is a British prestige blowout. It’s rich in commanding, frightening, and sad performances, all of which are in service of a beautifully layered script that takes on aging, missed opportunity, and dire regret.

    The Dresser may not be for everyone. It's intimate--in the sense of being both small and intensely personal; it taps into a niche (these are not movie stars); it's all about the power of Shakespeare; it reads, despite the flourishes that Eyre makes as a director to keep it dimensional, as a play shot as a TV movie; and its pacing is odd, but enjoyable.

    It’s a fully-fledged ode to the medium that birthed both television and movies. Everyone, both the real-life Dressers and actual Sirs, should be proud.
