King Lear, old and tired, divides his kingdom among his daughters, giving great importance to their protestations of love for him. When Cordelia, youngest and most honest, refuses to idly flatter the old man in return for favor, he banishes her and turns for support to his remaining daughters. But Goneril and Regan have no love for him and instead plot to take all his power from him. In a parallel, Lear's loyal courtier Gloucester favors his illegitimate son Edmund after being told lies about his faithful son Edgar. Madness and tragedy befall both ill-starred fathers.

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
How sad is this?
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
