Hamnet Ratings & Reviews
- Luke EricksonJanuary 4, 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.
- Andre GarçaJanuary 2, 2026Jessie Buckley already owns and holds the Oscar. She delivers a career-defining performance.
- Kevin WardDecember 18, 2025Good Grief. This didn't hit as hard as I was expecting, but still that Jessie Buckley primal wail nearly wrecked me.
- LivewireAdminDecember 8, 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
- thomasrogers753December 16, 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
- cultfilmlikerDecember 13, 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
- justi7607December 10, 2025Very well done film all the way through with Stellar performances by Buckley, Pescal, and Alwyn.
