'Hamnet': A compelling home video . . .

Posted by Billy Wonka on December 19, 2025 at 15:47:04:
of Will Shakespeare's early life, from meeting Agnes to finally dealing with the grief from his son's death.

This felt, to me, like an intrusive home movie. Lots and lots of close-up cinematography within beautifully (and realistically) designed sets, interiors, and costumes.

This was Ms. Buckley's film, and she will surely be recognized for the amazing (close-up) performance she gave to the camera. Her passion was unmatched.

Jacobi Jupe, playing the young Hamnet, is a comer. He showed a range not often seen in a child actor.

Long but compelling. I wonder if the Bard's personal life was so filled with conflict and ambition.
