Review: Hedda
Official Synopsis: Henrik Ibsen's renowned stage drama from 1891 is reimagined in an epic and emotional way. I can't say I'm familiar with Ibsen's play. It was Nia DaCosta, Tessa Thompson and Imogen Poots' names that drew my attention. This puts me at a bit of a disadvantage because I can't really compare the "updated" changes DaCosta made. And after watching Hedda , while I didn't hate it, I also don't feel compelled to learn more about the original play either. Hedda is a rich girl, trapped in her high society facades and it all comes to a crescendo at a party she's throwing in the home she and her husband can't afford. There's a lot going on here and I occasionally had trouble following how some of these people knew each other. If they were having affairs, or if they were just previous relationships. It wasn't an enticing story to me. That doesn't mean there's nothing here. Thompson, Poots and Nina Hoss are all givi...
