Hamnet

"He loves me for what I am not what I outa be" I've haven't read a book it's based on, but obviously I'm familiar with Shakespeare and his plays, I own plenty of them in fact. The story is very emotional with plenty of tragedy, hatred, hard times and sicknesses. I was already in tears, when stillbirth happened. Truly heartbreaking to scream alone, while your child had died. Jessie Buckley as usual was just brilliant. I could see "Romeo and Juliet" at the beginning, "Macbeth", "tempest" and titular one of course. I wish we could explore more, cause that's interesting. The titular Hamlet/Hamnet was the most heart shattering moment. First the sickness, then "trade" and I just couldn't believe he died... Jacobi Jupe is fenomenal, shame he is robbed during award season (maybe they are the next "nepo siblings). All of that repeated in a play, along with some memories was one of the best ending I've seen. I've cried like half of the movie... In terms of cinematography we have beautiful countryside with realistic lightning. Costumes are stunning and I was surprised how many wigs were there, they just look very real. It's a amazing portrayal of how tragedy can inspire art as well as how living in XVI and XVII century looked like. I can see why it won every possible audience award during festival season. I refuse to consider this "emotional manipulation", that's for movies are for - to change something in your life or make you feel something. It's just moving and grounded, enchant you from very first few scenes and stays with you till the end. Just masterful, I'm still thinking about it. Side note: HUGE year for postpartum depression
