Academy Award-winning director Chloé Zhao, known for "Nomadland," helms a tender drama that centers on William Shakespeare (played by Paul Mescal) and his family, portrayed through the perspective of his thoughtful wife, Agnes (portrayed by Jessie Buckley).

Zhao's film delves into Shakespeare’s domestic life and examines the profound impact of his son Hamnet’s death on his creative work. The narrative suggests that to truly understand "Hamlet," one must acknowledge the grief that influenced its creation. Based on the novel by Maggie O’Farrell, "Hamnet" emphasizes Agnes's perspective rather than that of Shakespeare or their son. Buckley infuses warmth into the character, challenging the notion that Hamnet’s death had little effect. The film instead presents Shakespeare as a real man whose genius was shaped by his familial experiences.

The film, structured in three parts and shifting between timelines, unveils its plot through a puzzle-like narrative, exploring how truth is obscured and memory distorted under oppressive regimes. The film serves as a summary of the authoritarian playbook while being a thrilling neo-noir that reflects Mendonça Filho’s cinematic knowledge. Shot using Panavision anamorphic lenses and vintage equipment, the film excels at capturing a 1970s visual style.
