From Academy Award-winning writer/director Chloé Zhao (Nomadland), HAMNET tells the powerful story of love and loss that inspired the creation of Shakespeare’s timeless masterpiece, Hamlet. Based on Maggie O’Farrell’s best-selling novel of the same name, HAMNET follows William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal, Aftersun) and his wife Agnes (Jessie Buckley, Women Talking) from their early courtship to their unimaginable loss, and how their all-consuming grief influenced the writing of a masterpiece. With immersive and textured cinematography, Zhao’s latest work is an emotional testament to the healing power of art. (Dir. by Chloe Zhao, 2025, UK/USA, 125 mins., rated PG-13)
