Hamnet
‍
‍Hamnet is a lyrical historical drama from director Chloé Zhao, adapted from Maggie O’Farrell’s celebrated novel. Set in late‑16th‑century England, it follows Agnes Hathaway, a gifted healer, and her husband William Shakespeare as their quiet life is reshaped by a devastating loss—one that ultimately inspires the emotional core of Hamlet. With cinematography by Łukasz Żal and a haunting score from Max Richter, the film blends intimate storytelling with striking period atmosphere.

Jessie Buckley delivers a powerful, award‑winning performance as Agnes, starring alongside Paul Mescal as Shakespeare, with Emily Watson, Joe Alwyn and Jacobi Jupe in supporting roles. Premiering at Telluride in 2025, Hamnet went on to earn major acclaim, winning Golden Globes for Best Motion Picture (Drama) and Best Actress, and securing eight Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director, with Buckley taking home the Oscar for Best Actress.
