Hamnet-bedømmelser og anmeldelser
- sopula1 dag sidenthe first half of this movie was quite slow and i kept waiting for the killing and sorcery, didnt have any idea it was actually a real life story told mostly from shakespears' wife's perspective. in retrospect however the first half was very effective at immersing me into the ye old england. the final scenes are quite incredible whole film has excellent performances, sets and writing
- James Saenz4 dage siden“the rest is silence.” for almost the entirety of the runtime i felt disengaged from this film; i could feel it fervently trying to appeal to pathos, every single audio cue and directorial choice desperately trying to garner sympathy and manufacture an atmosphere of sorrow that hardly ever felt authentic. undoubtedly the performances were staggering (most obviously and notably from jessie buckley, who commands the scene in every second she’s on screen), but it felt like it was trying too hard to make me feel sad that it more often than not ended up making me feel ambivalent. the ending changed that for me. the moment agnes reaches out to touch the actor playing hamlet is the moment the film finally won me over and i broke down in tears. of course that’s the point and the thematic and emotional climax of the film, but it could’ve easily been mishandled and instead it stuck the landing. this made a very interesting double feature with sentimental value; both films circle around artists unable to communicate the complexities of their emotions in normal conversation and so seek to express themselves to their estranged loved ones through art. a beautiful concept that worked far better in sentimental value for me, but zhao also managed to deliver something here that touched me.
- 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
- Krista Glover27. februar 2026I am absolutely broken after watching Hamnet. 😭 I had no idea Shakespeare had a son, Hamnet, who died at only 11 years old. The film shows how Hamlet wasn't just a play it was William’s way of saying goodbye to his son because he was away working when his son actually passed. By playing the Ghost himself in the play, Shakespeare metaphorically 'died' on stage so his son could be the one who stayed alive as Shakespeare wished had been the case in real life. Naming the play and the main character Hamlet was also his way of making sure that his son would continue to live on as long as it was performed on stage. This film deserves every Oscar. Prepare to cry your eyes out
- Hairon_p.h5. februar 2026I love movies that make me cry from sadness and happiness.
- 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.
- Evan May11. marts 2026“Hamnet” is a strong illustration of our need for stories to understand and feel our experiences. So well done technically. Score and sound design fill every scene with a sense of presence. Jessie Buckley has a thousand faces, each of them true.
- davidj88616. marts 2026Just finished Hamnet A deep grief shared offers a portal for the living and the dead thru which the living reconnect with life and the dead find their place in our hearts. Sweet film
- Audrey Layman8. marts 2026this is the last time I watch Paul Mescal play a sad dad
- 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.

- jackmeat4. marts 2026My quick rating - 7.7/10. I realized March 15th is coming soon, and I would like to get all the Best Picture nominees in so I can make more educated picks for the Oscar Contest. Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet opens with a title card explaining that in Elizabethan England, “Hamnet” and “Hamlet” were interchangeable due to the era’s creative relationship with spelling. It’s a small detail and not just historical trivia. It’s part of the backbone of the film. After her eleven-year-old son dies during the plague, Agnes Shakespeare (Jessie Buckley) is shattered. Her husband William (Paul Mescal) mourns too, but in a very different way. She is the wound exposed. He is the scar forming quietly underneath clothing. All of this takes place in the unforgiving landscape of 16th-century England. The film follows Agnes, a healer who can mend others but not herself. She attempts to navigate grief while still being a wife and mother to her surviving children. Let’s get this out of the way. You already know this story is going to hurt. The plague doesn’t exactly scream “feel-good matinee.” But what makes Hamnet devastating isn’t just the tragedy, it’s how convincingly it’s performed. The acting here is on another level. Buckley delivers a performance that feels less like acting and more like a mental excavation. When that moment of realization hits her during the stage performance of Hamlet, the entire range of emotion she cycles through is staggering. It’s raw, unfiltered grief. Agnes doesn’t romanticize her pain. She wears it like armor made of broken glass. Mescal plays Will as a man who buries his sorrow so deep it comes back out as poetry. Their dynamic is painfully believable. One partner imploding, the other transmuting loss into language. You can practically see the creative gears turning behind his eyes while hers remain flooded. The supporting cast is equally strong. Bodhi Rae Breathnach as Susanna, the eldest child, brings a quiet resilience to her scenes. I had just seen her in Shelter, and she continues to impress. Noah Jupe, playing the stage version of Hamlet, again had my full attention, as he did in The Carpenter’s Son. The theater sequence with Agnes in the audience is one of the film’s most powerful moments. Grief meeting art in real time. I thought Hamnet was visually stunning. Cinematographer Łukasz Żal deserves major credit for creating an atmosphere that feels authentically lived-in rather than museum-polished. There’s mud, candlelight, and damp air. You can almost smell the 1500s (which, I'd be willing to bet, wasn’t pleasant). If there’s a drawback, it’s the pacing. The film moves deliberately, sometimes very deliberately. It slows down to force you to sit in the grief, to feel its corrosive weight. There’s no swelling musical cue to soften the blow. Sadness here isn’t poetic. It’s damaging and relentless, without a cure in sight. Go figure. A movie about the Shakespeare family delivers some of the best acting of the year. Don’t be surprised if you don’t make it through dry-eyed. It may not be my Best Picture pick (I’ve still got two contenders left to watch), but in terms of performances? This one’s setting the bar uncomfortably high.

- makdelart19. februar 2026I generally avoid tearjerkers because these films are usually charlatanism. It's easiest to make a film about a dying child or a mother who has cancer, and everyone around them cries, sad music plays, and “what a beautiful film.” Here, we do have a fragment of Shakespeare's biography, so the story is not entirely fictional (which would somehow justify the events shown), but it has been filtered through the prism of a contemporary novel by Maggie O'Farrell. In addition, Max Richter's heart-wrenching music is a typical element of charlatanism here. On the plus side, I definitely count the spectacular photography in natural lighting, the set design, the costumes, and Jessie Buckley's acting.
