Sony Pictures Classics has released the UK Trailer reveals what England’s greatest poet did in his twilight years. Branagh himself plays the legendary thespian who struggles with marriage and family life, most of all a personal loss, his only son.
Branagh is no stranger to the playwright’s works, starring in many adaptations on the stage and film. Fans of the English actor/filmmaker’s Shakespearian projects will love this one. A side of Shakespeare’s life we don’t see or hear too much about.

Haunted by the death of his only son Hamnet, he struggles to mend the broken relationships with his wife and daughters. In so doing, he is ruthlessly forced to examine his own failings as husband and father. His very personal search for the truth uncovers secrets and lies within a family at war.

All Is True will be released in UK and Irish Cinemas from 8th February 2019.
