After losing their son Hamnet to plague, Agnes (Jessie Buckley) and William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal) grapple with grief in 16th-century England. A healer, Agnes must find strength to care for her surviving children while processing her devastating loss.
Breaking hearts and mending them in one fell swoop, Hamnet speculates on the inspiration behind Shakespeare's masterpiece with palpable emotional force thanks to Buckley and Mescal's astonishing performances.
"The film's potency is derived as much from the physicality of the performances -- Mescal's restless, questing agitation, Buckley's open book of a face -- as it is from the dialogue." —Wendy Ide, Observer UK
