“Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men should fear; seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come.” —Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar Hamnet opens on Agnes (played by a primally explosive Jessie Buckley) waking at the foot of a massive tree in the […] The film, "Hamnet," is a take on Shakespeare's greatest tragedy, focusing on Agnes (played by Jessie Buckley) and William Shakespeare (played Paul Mescal), who fall in love. The film is described as a mystical take on the legendary figure and is bolstered by strong performances from Buckley and Mescal. Despite not being considered a dramatic work, the film's director, Chloé Zhao, shows why she is an artist who crafts a film of such hypnotic air as she crafts a mystical interpretation of Shakespeare. Hamlet as a play, while Hamnet is intended to be a look at what motivated Shakespeare to write Hamlet, it works best as an examination of grief and how two people approach healing.
