HAMNET: From Academy Award® winning writer/director Chloé Zhao, Hamnet tells the powerful love story that inspired the creation of Shakespeare’s timeless masterpiece, Hamlet.
Nominated for 8 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actress, and Best Adapted Screenplay.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Philip De Semlyen, Time Out “Zhao doesn’t just tell you about the healing power of art — she shows you. Prepare your tear ducts accordingly.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ David Ehrlich, IndieWire “Anchored by the primordial rawness of Buckley’s astonishing performance, Hamnet is never at risk of reducing Agnes to a trope. If anything, the film regards her as an even more powerful creative force than her husband.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Robbie Collin, The Daily Telegraph (UK) “What Hamnet leaves you with isn’t sadness, but joy — at the human capacity to reckon with death’s implacability through art, love, or the simple act of carrying on in defiance. It blows you back onto the street on a gust of pure exhilaration.”
