Hamnet - Nel nome del figlio
Diretto da Chloé ZhaoIn un bosco, una giovane donna dorme rannicchiata nella culla formata dalla radice emersa di un albero secolare: è vestita di rosso cupo, accompagnata da un falco che risponde ai suoi richiami, conosce erbe e pozioni, si dice non sia nata da sua madre ma da una donna venuta da lontano. Si chiama Agnes e quando Will la vede se ne innamora subito. Will è il giovane William Shakespeare, che riesce a sposarla nonostante l’ostilità delle famiglie e ad avere con lei tre figli, Susannah e i gemelli Judith e Hamnet.

Tratta dal romanzo del 2020 di Maggie O’Farrell, la storia di Agnes (più che di William), intessuta di magia e femminilità.

Hamnet - Nel nome del figlio Ratings e Recensioni
- LivewireAdmin8 dicembre 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
- Hairon_p.h5 febbraio 2026I love movies that make me cry from sadness and happiness.
- Rowan Krzysiak22 h faIt's hard for me to be objective. This was genuinely my worst nightmare in every way. It is absolutely terrible but saying that, you might like it.
- Krista Glover27 febbraio 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
- rg94004 febbraio 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 dicembre 2025Good Grief. This didn't hit as hard as I was expecting, but still that Jessie Buckley primal wail nearly wrecked me.
- Arthur Zepeda1 g faHamnet was another Best Picture nominee that I probably would not have chosen to watch on my own, but since I have this tradition of working my way through all the nominees, I made sure to give it a chance. I’m glad I did. The film is inspired by the real life family of William Shakespeare and focuses on the story of his son Hamnet. It is very much a period piece, and the movie does a good job placing you in that time in history. There are moments that feel mysterious or a little unusual, but when you remember the beliefs and culture of that era, it all fits within the world the story is trying to show. The movie is definitely driven by emotion, especially as it explores family relationships and loss. At times it felt a little long, but the performances and the atmosphere kept me interested enough to stay with it all the way through. The cinematography and scenery also help bring the time period to life, which I appreciated. In the end, it is not the kind of film I would normally pick on my own, but I’m glad I watched it and I can understand why it received a Best Picture nomination.
- Audrey Layman1 g fawow. i will never watch this again
- Mancubus992 gg faOver rated in my opinion. This was boring from start to finish. It took us 2 attempts to finish it and we only gave it a second try because of the Oscar nomination. We were left scratching our heads as to why, and then we saw that Stephen Spielberg was a producer. That, and it must have been a slow year, because this was not what I would consider Oscar worthy.
- RussianSpyNet3 gg faHow does one even begin to move on when the love that kept us moving forward dies before our eyes?
- jackmeat5 gg faMy 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.
- EmperorWatcher7 gg faPowerful stuff here. The first Soliloquy delivery is the best of 2.. remarkable, and the 2nd is terrific. I had no idea what I was in for here. Great to have no expectations. The first act had me puzzled, but the unfolding is quite noteworthy.
- MarioW7 gg fabeautiful and touching
- wllmr28 febbraio 2026Allowing multiple ideas to battle it out at the same time. Marvelous. Actors and camera and setting and music all battling for what they want and none giving up ground easily.
- nightcatnl25 febbraio 2026Slow and long
