Hamnet
1580 England. Impoverished Latin tutor William Shakespeare falls deeply in love with the free-spirited Agnes, beginning a passionate relationship that leads to marriage and three children. But while William pursues a burgeoning theatre career in London, Agnes remains behind, holding their family together.
When tragedy strikes, their once-unshakable bond is tested in ways neither could have imagined, and their shared grief becomes the inspiration for one of literature’s most enduring works. From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Chloé Zhao comes a luminous adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s acclaimed novel about love, loss and the healing power of art and creativity.
Winner of 58 awards including:
Winner | Oscar for Best Actress (Jessie Buckley)
Winner | BAFTA for Outstanding British Film
Winner | Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama (Jessie Buckley)
“A fully realised character portrait of womanhood, motherhood and personhood, Hamnet is a beautiful, transportive film.”
– The Nightly
“This film succeeds, not because it solves the mystery, but because it deepens it still further. It is contrived and speculative, but ingenious and impassioned at the same time.”
– The Guardian
