Hamnet2025

Having not read the book I came into the film blind.  I can see why Buckley received the Oscar.  Emotionally traumatised by the events that occur , she portrays grief so well.  Will Shakespeare, a secondary character almost is also played well by Mescal.  The film looks great, and it’s an art house film as you can tell by the long silences.  If you have come for long monologues you are out of luck.  As a fan of the play, and Shakespeare’s work, I didn’t feel it detracts from it or creates any additional myths. I only hope it inspires people to look into the bards work.
