- LivewireAdmin8. december 2025I think the only reason I was able to reasonably hold it together through this is because the person next to me in the theater was absolutely sobbing and essentially crying for the both of us. I say reasonably, I still had a few tears running down the side of my face. Amazing performances, specifically Jessie Buckley and Jacobi Jupe. I now feel the urge to consume a bunch of Shakespeare's work. I feel like understanding more of his plays will allow me to pick up on more things in this, it's the type of movie that feels incredibly layered. Shit, this actually has me considering a re-watch of Eternals
- Ronald Rol2 dage sidenMy wife, who never cries with movies, was crying the biggest part of the movie. I, who normally cries with almost every movie (tears of joy or emotion), did not cry, which was surprising looking at the amount my wife cried. I assume she cried for the both of us. Very good movie, and the sounds was amazing. I have a 5.2.4 system, and all the sounds where coming from where they needed to come from. I don't hear this with blockbusters, so I was surprised such a sound-wise, boring movie, was so good with the sound.

- George Almeida6. februar 2026Beautiful movie. Acting was superb. Shakespearean dialogue is fascinating
- rg94004. februar 2026I bawled. Grief is such a hard thing to capture and convey in a movie. It's doubly hard when the viewer expects it. I think it's no secret what this movie is about, and a lot of viewers will go into it expecting that moment. For it to work despite those expectations is very impressive. Chloe Zhao's signature bucolic scenery is omnipresent throughout this movie, and there's this dusting of magical realism that gives the movie an almost ethereal feel. However, the real driving force of this movie is Jessie Buckley. Don't get me wrong, Paul Mescal is great as well. However, it is Buckley that is the living, beating heart of this movie, and all Zhao has to do is zoom into her face, and the rest just works. There is a scene where all she is doing is raising her hand to grasp someone, and it broke me. That scene is right up there with some of the best scenes I've seen this year, period. This is a movie about grief, and how we can process and experience it in different ways. I think Zhao and Buckley really capture that theme so poignantly in this movie. I do have one criticism though. The first third of this movie is very slow, and it feels overlong since it's mostly a prologue to the main theme of the movie. I was honestly worried about how I would feel about the movie during this section. Editing it down would have made the movie leaner without losing anything in my opinion. Regardless, this movie hit me hard, so I have to rank it as one of the best movies of the year. I hope Buckley gets her much deserved flowers.
- Kevin Ward18. december 2025Good Grief. This didn't hit as hard as I was expecting, but still that Jessie Buckley primal wail nearly wrecked me.
- Hakihiko5. februar 2026Graceful, Intimate, and Deeply Powerful "Hamnet" is an extraordinary film: delicate, emotionally devastating, and crafted with remarkable elegance. It's the kind of movie that speaks softly yet leaves a profound impact, lingering long after it ends. The performances are simply outstanding. Every emotion feels lived-in and authentic, carried with restraint and depth rather than excess. The cast delivers something rare: performances that feel intimate and universal at the same time, grounding the film's grief and love in something painfully real. Direction is confident and sensitive, allowing the story to unfold at its own pace without ever feeling slow. The film trusts silence, gestures, and small moments, and that trust pays off beautifully. The cinematography is stunning, with fantastic shots that feel almost painterly, while never losing their emotional purpose. The music is splendid, subtle, evocative, and perfectly placed. It enhances the emotional weight without ever manipulating it, blending seamlessly with the visuals and performances to create a deeply immersive experience. "Hamnet" is a film of rare emotional intelligence and artistic control. It's moving, elegant, and quietly devastating; a true cinematic achievement. Easily one of the best movies of 2025.
- thehave15. februar 2026A beautiful creation, that brings a memory of a world full of magic, a love story of a man and a woman, full of creation and love for those that they make and hold in their hearts, grief expressed with depth and reality that you seldom feel, the rest is silence. Amazing cinematography, superb acting, Agnes was real to me, this is the one this year if not politics has once again soiled art.
- samotsama3. februar 2026Amazing performances
- Stephen Dhondt5. februar 2026It never moved me to my core - it felt a bit too calculated for that - but it definitely grew on me. A beautifully crafted film about grief with excellent performances
