This film\u00a0uses that context as the basis for a tender exploration of Shakespeare\u2019s domestic life, connecting a family tragedy to one of his most famous works. Maybe we can better understand Hamlet, Zhao suggests, if we consider that it was developed while the most famous writer in the Western canon was mourning the death of his 11-year-old son, Hamnet.<span class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\">Based on the novel by Maggie O\u2019Farrell, Hamnet\u2019s main character isn\u2019t The Bard \u2014 played here by an impressive Paul Mescal \u2014 or even the child who gives the film its name. Hamnet belongs to Agnes, Shakespeare\u2019s thoughtful wife, played by an enthralling Jessie Buckley, who bathes the film in her warmth.\u00a0Grief is a theme here, but Hamnet is not just a film about death. Early scenes of Agnes and William\u2019s courtship are naturalistic, rendered through lush cinematography. Like any family story, this one contains joy alongside sorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winner, People\u2019s Choice Award, TIFF 2025 Nominated for 8\u00a0 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress Winner, Golden Globes Best Motion Picture &#8211;
