Hamnet
Regie Chloé ZhaoWir schreiben das Jahr 1580 und der im kleinen englischen Dorf Stratford-upon-Avon als Lateinlehrer arbeitende William Shakespeare verliebt sich in Agnes. Im Dorf wird hinter immer weniger vorgehaltener Hand vermutet, sie sei eigentlich gar keine Heilerin, sondern eine richtige Hexe. Aber das ist William egal. Die beiden stürzen sich Hals über Kopf in das gemeinsame Leben und bekommen auch schnell drei Kinder. Erst wird Susanna geboren, kurz darauf die Zwillinge Judith und Hamnet. Doch mit der Familie endet das Träumen zumindest für William noch nicht. Er will das Lehren endlich hinter sich lassen können und als Dramatiker arbeiten. Auf dem Land geht das jedoch eher schlecht als recht. Also geht er, ermutigt von Agnes, nach London. Erst ist die Familie als nur räumlich voneinander getrennt, dann pflügt die Pest durch das Land und tötet auch Hamnet mit gerade einmal elf Jahren. Das treibt William an, seinem Sohn zu Ehren ein Stück zu schreiben...

Hamnet Rezensionen & Wertungen
- rg9400vor 17 Std.I 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.
- LivewireAdmin8. Dezember 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
- neilstervor 21 Std.A thing of beauty with Oscar-wortthy performances from both cast & crew.

- Luke Erickson4. Januar 2026I don't know the beginning was kind of slow but the last 30 minutes were good. Once they let the actors do Hamlet, it hit me that The Bard is still 🔥 after all these years. The acting was great just a very slow build and I don't know if the juice is worth the squeeze.
- Kevin Ward18. Dezember 2025Good Grief. This didn't hit as hard as I was expecting, but still that Jessie Buckley primal wail nearly wrecked me.
- Andre Garça2. Januar 2026Jessie Buckley already owns and holds the Oscar. She delivers a career-defining performance.
- thomasrogers75316. Dezember 2025Mescal and Buckley give absolutely some of the best performances I’ve seen all year The Shakespearean langue’s lowkey was hard for me to follow at times but I mean this was a powerful movie
- cultfilmliker13. Dezember 2025Portrait of a Lady that’s Tired I don’t get it tho - why did he call it HamLET Excruciating. Incredible music. Very effective little boy acting! I am so in love with Jessie Buckley. Perfect Oscar bait for her. She can and will win. Meanwhile I’m still constantly thinking about her performance in I’m Thinking Of Ending Things Got captioning glasses bc I knew it was Irish actors playing old Britains. They didn’t help considering I’m legally blind but it was close! Luckily didn’t need it for MOST of the film smh Watched at Warren Regal 21
- justi760710. Dezember 2025Very well done film all the way through with Stellar performances by Buckley, Pescal, and Alwyn.
