A Midsummer Night's Dream (2016)
What just happened?!?

I'm baffled. I could swear I've read the play and have seen several performances, but this movie has me questioning everything. There are characters I don't remember, and lines I do remember were missing. And what about the opening scene?!? Did George Orwell rewrite this?
The actors were all superb and I would love to have seen them in A Midsummer Nights Dream, but I don't know what the hell this thing was. At least the special effects were interesting?
I don't know, it starts as a Nazi fever dream, then it toys with the idea of being the play itself, then turns into the musical adaptation of a Sonnet. Honestly if not for Puck's famous soliloquy asking us not to take offense I would be offended.
