Evening Film: Hamnet

Period drama

Hamnet is a heart-wrenching tale of transformational love for Agnes Hathaway, as her husband and father to Hamnet, Shakespeare, moves from budding playwright to Globe success with Hamlet. This sumptuous and evocative interpretation of Maggie O' Farrell's best-selling novel is an emotional rollercoaster of magical courtship, painful chid birth, and child-death anxiety in a time of plague. Jessie Buckley's Oscar-nominated performance is a tour de force while director Chloe Zhao wrings every ounce of emotion in this beautiful exploration of both mother and fatherhood.
