This standout film, not only of the year but possibly the decade, was nominated for 199 awards and winner of 58 including an Oscar for Jessica Buckley. Based on the
2020 novel by Maggie O’Farrell and directed by Chloe Zhao, the film dramatizes the family life of William Shakespeare and his wife Agnes Hathaway as they cope with the death of their 11 year old son.
“This movie wants to devastate you without depressing you and it absolutely achieves that.”
“BRING TISSUES.”
“Hamnet is a technical, artistic, intellectual and emotional feast.”
“Deeply sad, devastating and utterly beautiful in what it conveys about the meaning of love.”
“ This major production, backed by Stephen Spielberg, shouldn’t disappoint anyone.”
