Hamnet, cinEMotia

HAMNET Director: Chloé Zhao Duur: 126 minutes Country: Verenigd Koninkrijk Jaar: 2026 Spoken language: Engels Ondertiteling: Nederlands De young Agnes and William, she a healer, he a writer, fall for each other like a block, despite the different worlds in which they grew up and their differing characters. When fate strikes, their built-up life is completely turned upside down. Terwijl William seeks refuge in writing what he thinks will be his magnum opus, Agnes falls into a hopeless black hole. How heartbreaking can grief be? Jessie Buckley (who won the Oscar for Beste Actrice) and Paul Mescal break your heart into a thousand pieces with this love drama that tells the story behind Shakespeare's 'Hamlet'. Humo - 'At its core, ‘Hamnet’ is an unadulterated melodrama, but one of the most sublime level. Only in the last fifteen minutes do you realize that Zhao has been building for almost two hours towards a shot that is so beautiful and purifying that we were gasping for breath in our seats.' ★★★★ De Standaard - 'Zhoa deals a hammer blow with Hamnet. Buckley's raw performance cuts deep. It is impossible not to feel with your whole being with her grief, her yearning for redemption.' ★★★★
