Hamnet, starring Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal

Variety: Based on Maggie O’Farrell’s 2020 novel, “Hamnet” tells the story of William Shakespeare and his wife, Agnes, as they grieve the loss of their 11-year-old son, Hamnet.

The film follows the couple as they attempt to reconcile with the loss of their child, and how William Shakespeare began to write his beloved classic, “Hamlet.”

If you don't blink, you can see Joe Alwyn in the trailer.

This is either a picture of Jessie Buckley in the movie, or a picture of a random audience member after seeing the film.

The musical score should win Best Supporting Actor.

Looks beautiful, I'll watch this despite its bleak nature and unrelatable subject matter.

Shakespeare doesn't appear in a good chunk.of the novel, so I wonder if the script expands the part. The book is very good, though there's a section when two characters are grieving that goes on much too long.

Buckley doesn't match the book's description of that character at all.

Agnes is what Anne Hathaway was referred to in his father's will.

Hamnet director Chloé Zhao reflects on working with Paul Mescal:

[quote]He's got a weight that is bigger than his years, and you can really lean on it. Working with him, I was like, "Oh, I want to meet you so many times in my life in different ways and work together." It felt so alive. Anything was possible.

Apparently, Hathaway's father referred to her as Agnes in his will.

If pronounced the French way , Agnes is a beautiful name. Anyes is the closest this non French speaking person can get.

Apparently, I didn't see R10. Sorry.

Is Paul's extra weight in his crotch?

This looks so ponderous. Who would want to sit through it?

I will never understand the praise for Jessie Buckley.

Agree r17 and I just do not understand Jessie Buckley. Third-tier chorus material.

I like Buckley; in interviews, she comes across as a bit odd - definitely not a Goop or Jennifer Lawrence type. And she's very talented.

This actually looks pretty good and definitely Oscar bait.

The thing about Buckley is everything I've ever seen her in , she always seems to be acting with a chip on her shoulder, eternally angry with the world. I don't see much ranger or variation in her performances.

by Anonymousreply 20August 27, 2025 8:16 PM

I think Buckley is the finest actress of her generation - she’s absolutely extraordinary in The Lost Daughter, and was brilliant in Cabaret.
