The Blu-ray presentation of 'Coriolanus' delivers a high-quality 1080p, AVC-encoded transfer with excellent detail, strong black levels, and natural grain, benefiting from Barry Ackroyd's gritty cinematography. Colors are muted and tones are cold, but detail remains sharp, enhancing the raw nature of the film. The Lossless DTS audio is impressive, with powerful LFE depth, engaging surround effects, and clear dialogue.

Audio: 70

Coriolanus' Blu-ray audio presentation impresses with its Lossless DTS-HD MA 5.1 track, delivering immersive surround activity, precise LFE utilization, and clear dialogue amidst Shakespearian verse. Dynamic range is expansive, supporting both explosive war scenes and nuanced performances without distortion.

Extra: 47

The extras provide a mix of insightful commentary and engaging behind-the-scenes content; while Fiennes's commentary delves deeply into character analysis and film adaptation challenges, 'The Making of Coriolanus' featurette adds value with interviews and production insights, despite its brevity.

Movie: 77

'Coriolanus' shines with Ralph Fiennes' passionate direction and powerful performances, particularly from Fiennes and Gerard Butler. Despite a modern setting that sometimes clashes with Shakespeare's language, the film impressively tackles themes of pride, politics, and revenge with a visually engaging and emotionally potent approach.
