Starring Branagh along with Judi Dench and Ian McKellen, the filmmaker/actor called up his pals at Sony Classics about taking on the title, which it opens stateside this weekend. Following doc hits Apollo 11 and Amazing Grace, Neon is going for three with the Friday release of documentary The Biggest Little Farm, which debuted in Telluride last fall.

Kenneth Branagh reigns supreme as the Shakespeare indulgent provocateur, directing and starring in his latest feature All is True. A witty and wonderful poignant love letter to his beloved icon revealing the hidden identity of the troubled and conflicted man underneath the glory and fame, educating the audience on the life of a disturbed artist similar to that of Julian Schnabel’s Vincent Van Gogh biopic At Eternity’s Gate.
All is True follows the latter winding down retiree stages in the enigmatic and vibrant life of William Shakespeare, wonderfully embodied by the fabulous lead performance from Kenneth Branagh. A visual and physical realisation that sizzles away underneath the flesh in a stoic intensity only to explode in a fiery vibrancy of emotion.
