Hamnet

DramaRomance126 min

In Shakespeare’s family home, Agnes and William face the death of their young son Hamnet, a loss that echoes into the writing of Hamlet. Jessie Buckley is Agnes, with the film centered on her marriage, her household, and the grief that reshapes both. Opposite her, Paul Mescal’s William Shakespeare is seen less as a literary icon than as a husband and father. Directed by Chloé Zhao, the story draws its scale from intimate family life, with Emily Watson and Joe Alwyn among the supporting cast.
