Hamnet

...hits like an emotional wrecking ball—devastating as it clears its path.

Welcome back, Chloe Zhao. We missed you.

...an emotionally pulverizing drama that imagines how the death of William Shakespeare and Anne (or Agnes) Hathaway’s only son might have inspired the creation of his greatest tragedy; think of it as “Shakespeare in Agony.”

...a stately, occasionally lugubrious drama whose closing minutes are among the most poignant in recent memory.

This sublime adaptation of Hamnet couldn’t have been done any better.

Jessie Buckley is brilliant and heartbreaking in Hamnet.
