Hamnet

i don’t think i’ve ever seen absence portrayed this tangibly before. the emotional magnitude of this film is immense, but what truly devastated me was the way it portrays grief: almost unbearably human. the silence after hamnet’s death made the loss feel painfully real - empty, uncomfortable, almost suffocating, like someone was missing from the world itself. the absence of music in the middle section was such a respectful and painful choice. it felt like the film itself was struggling to breathe. the silence of grief weighed more than any soundtrack ever could.
