A devastating film.

William and Agnes Shakespeare must continue with life after a devastating occurrence. Life, however, offers no pause for grief; Agnes still has other children to care for, and William must continue working. Their relationship begins to buckle under the strain, each processing loss in very different ways.This film takes you on one hell of an emotional journey. I genuinely wasn't expecting to come out of the cinema feeling like this; it's a powerful, bruising experience, and at times an emotional rollercoaster.One thing to be aware of is the pacing. The film is deliberately slow in places, but the pauses and silences have real substance. What struck me most was the devastating realisation of grief it presents - not softened or romanticised, but shown as something corrosive and damaging, an emotion for which no cure exists.It feels unusual for such an astonishing film to be released in January. Sadly, the cinema was virtually empty on opening night; around a dozen people at most, which felt like a real shame for a film of this quality.Visually, it is breathtaking. Considerable effort has gone into making the era feel authentic, and it shows. The film is beautifully crafted and very, very well made.Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal deliver outstanding performances, and it would be no surprise to see awards recognition. The supporting cast are equally impressive, contributing to a uniformly strong ensemble.There's also a quiet sense that this experience casts a long shadow. It puts into perspective why some of Shakespeare's later work took on a much more sorrowful tone; Macbeth, Othello and King Lear would all follow these events.In summary, this is a very sombre film, superbly acted, and emotionally devastating. Thoughts of it linger long after the credits roll.9/10.

A Quietly Devastating Portrait of Grief

Hamnet is the kind of film you should only watch if you're ready to cry. I went in knowing very little, not realizing it would stay with me longer than almost anything else I've seen.The story follows William Shakespeare and his wife Agnes as they attempt to hold their lives together after an unimaginable loss. What makes the film so effective is how it explores grief through contrast: Agnes wears her pain openly, raw and consuming, while William buries his, transforming it into words meant for others to feel. It's a restrained, devastating reflection on love and loss- proof that some stories don't ask to be understood, but they demand to be felt.
