What critics are saying about Hamnet

Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal star in a heartbreaking adaptation of the best-selling novel. ... Buckley's performance is ferocious and astounding, starting off strong and somehow picking up power as the movie goes along. There's something ... ... O’Farrell wrote the screenplay with the film’s director, Chloé Zhao, who infuses it with the same blend of heartache and beauty that pulsed in previous films like “The Rider” and “Nomadland.” Those movies were understated, and “Hamnet” is too, to a degree: Zhao makes much of an object on a table, a bit of wind whipping through branches. But “Hamnet” is also ardent and searing and brimming with emotion. That amount of heat can be tough to handle without veering into sentimentality.
