Feature Film Reviews at Troynovant
(Queen Mab's ride);
listed by Title
At Troynovant we are more interested in excellent or distinctive work than the merely timely or fashionable. Quality is always in season, and often more topical and entertaining than currency or fashion admit. Thus, we aim to refer and amuse, rather than to announce and forget. We avoid spoiling surprises in reviews that recommend; other works take their chances.
The central column below names writers, directors, and/or actors to aid identification. Within reviews, credits are most-significant rather than inclusive. See PictureLike for a list of book reviews about movies & television.
- Reels are one- or two-reel films, short films (non-musical), or television episodes;
- Soundies are shorter musical films of song and/or dance, music videos;
- Feature Films are theater headliners, DVDs, or television series.
All screen presentations are in color with sound, dialogue in English, unless stated otherwise.

[A street or public square in Verona, Italy.]
Benvolio:
Queen Mab, what's she?
Mercutio:
She is the fairies' midwife, and she comes
In shape no bigger than an agate stone
On the forefinger of an alderman,
Drawn with a team of little atomi
Athwart men's noses as they lie asleep.
Her wagon spokes made of long spinners' legs;
The cover, of the wings of grasshoppers;
Her traces, of the moonshine's wat'ry beams;
Her collars, of the smallest spider web;
Her whip, of cricket's bone, the lash of film; ...
And in this state she gallops night by night
Through lovers' brains, and then they dream of love; ...William Shakespeare
Romeo and Juliet, 1.4.54-64, 71-72
