Hamnet

One of the most painful films I’ve ever watched, and I mean that as a compliment.  Art makes grief beautiful, it makes the dead immortal, that’s the legacy of William Shakespeare and it’s the legacy of films such as this one.  Jessie Buckley absolutely deserves that Oscar, and I can’t help but feel like Paul Mescal should’ve at least gotten a nomination.  This film contains one of the most devastating movie scenes of my lifetime, and that’s only the surface of what makes this film so great.  I’m gonna be thinking about this one a lot, and I may or may not cry everytime I do.
