The first trailer for Hamnet appeared late summer, and early buzz suggested it could be an awards contender. Now, after screenings at several film festivals, that initial excitement has proven justified. The film recently won the People’s Choice award at the Toronto Film Festival and is quickly gaining recognition from critics as a strong Oscar hopeful.
I just finished watching a truly moving film about Agnes, Shakespeare’s wife, and her devastating grief after losing her son, Hamnet. It’s a remarkably human story, and what makes it even more compelling is seeing how that personal tragedy seemed to fuel the creation of Shakespeare’s masterpiece, *Hamlet*. The performances are incredible, especially from Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal, and it’s all beautifully directed by Chloe Zhao, who you might know from her Oscar-winning film *Nomadland*. It’s a powerful exploration of love, loss, and the creative process – definitely one to see.
Both Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley appeared in the 2021 film “The Lost Daughter,” but they didn’t share any screen time together.
Hamnet is released in cinemas on 9th January 2026
