Hamnet

Grief is the sole seed behind growth. Loss holds more power than any emotion ever could, that's why it resonates louder. For without loss, there exists no love; the two are doomed to intertwine. Hamnet is a tale of loss, love and art— art, which has for the entirety of human history carried the unfathomable weight of expression beyond what mere conversation could contain. Whether it be poetry, prose, theatre, painting or film; an outlet matters. It always has. And long it shall continue. So emotionally overwhelmed that I did not even want to talk about the actual filmmaking here. But it's splendid, nearly flawless — from Buckley's haunting performance, to the atmosphere and cinematography, to the moving Richter score. Composed brilliance.
