Watch: The Dresser 2015 123movies, Full Movie Online – In the closing months of World War Two ageing actor ‘Sir’ and his wife Her Ladyship bring Shakespeare to the provinces with a company depleted by conscription. ‘Sir’ is plainly unwell, discharging himself from hospital and Her Ladyship believes he should cancel his upcoming performance of ‘King Lear’. However Norman, his outspoken, gay dresser disagrees and is determined that the show will go on, cajoling the confused ‘Sir’ into giving a performance – one which will be his swansong, at the same time drawing a parallel between King Lear and his fool as Norman, despite ultimate disappointment, serves his master..
Plot: One fateful night in a small English regional theatre during World War II a troupe of touring actors stage a production of Shakespeares King Lear. Bombs are falling, sirens are wailing, the curtain is up in an hour but the actor/manager Sir who is playing Lear is nowhere to be seen. His dresser Norman must scramble to keep the production alive but will Sir turn up in time and if he does will he be able to perform that night? The Dresser is a wickedly funny and deeply moving story of friendship and loyalty as Sir reflects on his lifelong accomplishments and seeks to reconcile his turbulent friendships with those in his employ before the final curtain.

Reviews:

a moment of dramatic scene that I’ve been waiting for between McKelen & Hopkins
The Dresser in my country is not a popular movie. As a young movie freak, I don’t know this kind of movie until Lionsgate Play application coming up on my Apple TV+ app. So here is my review: The storyline of “The Dresser” somehow connected with the role of dresser and his presence to convince an old under-rated actor in ordinary theater in London, so the actor can remember the dialogue and re-motivated on his acting purposes. Sometimes the actor (played by Sir Anthony Hopkins) is being demotivated by himself. Then he can’t love everybody around him. The Dresser (played by Sir Ian McKellen), is always there to support him. For me this movie is a moment of dramatic scene that I’ve been waiting for between McKellen & Hopkins. They are both senior actors, Sir-s, and having lead roles in any kind of movie. Their mature acting makes this movie beautiful ly wrapped with low-budget assumption, because the location is only in 1 (one theater), with the whole corridors and the preparation on the actor’s room. A worth it movie to be watched. Thank you Lionsgate Play app.

Great story and characters but flat acting from the two leads
I couldn’t help but compare this version to the Albert Finney/Tom Courtney version and, though this was good, the older version was much better in my opinion. The story and the characters are compelling and engaging in both versions but, as been stated here before, the older version’s portrayals seemed to have been played with more passion. The two leads, especially, were far too subdued in this version. Their voices seem to rarely rise above a conversational level so I never felt the same level of emotional from McKellen and Hopkins that I felt from Finney and Courtney. There is a line in which Sir says to Norman something like, “I’m sick of your friends!” The way Albert Finney almost yells the lines shows that he’s heard this line one time too many from Norman.

Also, Norman’s entire dialogue from the moment he reads Sir’s dedication to his conversation with Madge shows a huge rollercoaster of emotions in the earlier version because Norman’s voice rises and falls and his body language is more animated. Tom Courtney was magnificent and totally embodied Norman.

I’m sure it’s a minority opinion but I have not been impressed with Anthony Hopkin’s acting in a long time. I’m hard-pressed to think of a role in which I didn’t see Anthony Hopkins rather than the character. He was better in this role but I don’t believe he ever vanished into it the way Albert Finney did. An actor like Gary Oldman is much more chameleonic whether he is Drexel the drug dealer or Stanfield the corrupt DEA agent, we see the character not the actor. Ian McKellen was convincing as Norman but his portrayal was flat compared to Tom Courtney. McKellen is another actor that can embody a role but, I think it was the paring with Hopkins that hindered his portrayal.
