Hamnet

Finally had the chance to see Hamnet. And as i predicted, this movie exceeds my expectation. The movie struck me with its wonderful narrative, the immense talent of the actors, and how the visual of the nature captured so monumentally that it becomes part of the story itself.  The story of Hamnet is told from Shakespeare's wife, Agnes (Anne Hathaway), played by Jessie Buckley, as the central figure. The movie carries strong emotions since the beginning, following the grieving journey. every scene feels weighty, wether through devastating sadness, or happiness that appears ephemerally.  Paul Mescal is undoubtedly great as William Shakespear himself, but Jessie Buckley, man, i can't even get over her performance even after writing this review. The smile, the crying, screaming, and grieving. The energy she brings out is transcendental.  The visuals and cinematography also creates their own alluring energy throughout the movie. The forest, gardens and open landscape feel less like a scenic backdrop and more like a form maternal harmony for Agnes. And the rural landscape in contrast feels closer to Shakespear characteristic, it's muddy, alive and artistic. Both spaces represent their own way to express grief. The final scene of the movie was the moment when all the emotions Agnes and Shakespeare carry finally crash down, so do my tears. As On The Nature of daylight serenade the play, all the grief, sadness and anger that echoes finally cracked and turned into love and acceptance for their own son. Simply monumental and beautifully written film.
