***********************************
From Academy Award®–winning writer-director Chloé Zhao (Nomadland), Hamnet is a haunting, deeply emotional drama that reimagines the private tragedy behind one of literature’s greatest works. Set in 16th-century England, the film follows Agnes (Jessie Buckley) and William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal) as they grapple with the devastating loss of their young son, Hamnet, to plague: an event that propels Shakespeare toward creating his timeless masterpiece, Hamlet. Also starring Emily Watson and Joe Alwyn, Hamnet blends rich period detail with intimate performances that explore grief, love, and artistic survival.
Heralded by critics for its emotional force and Buckley’s powerhouse performance, the film took home Best Motion Picture – Drama and Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for Buckley at the Golden Globes, with additional nominations for Best Director (Chloé Zhao), Best Screenplay, Best Original Score, and Best Supporting Actor (Paul Mescal). Hamnet also won the People’s Choice Award at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival and has been praised as a major awards contender with both industry buzz and audience acclaim.
