Hamnet

"So emotionally raw as to be almost excruciating at times."

"Gorgeous and cathartic."

"Anchored by the primordial rawness of Buckley’s astonishing performance..."

"A dense and lyrical imagining."

"It’s Buckley who’s giving one of those rare turns that simply beggars belief."

"The craft on display alone is enough to bring a tear to your eye."

"Ardent and searing and brimming with emotion."

"A beautifully crafted punch to the gut."

"Love it or hate it, "Hamnet" will get a response out of you that you won’t easily shake."

"Rings a bit hollow at its core."

"Leans so hard on tragedy that it leaves little room for nuance."

"Mescal and Buckley deliver twin but divergent blueprints for mourning, and in the film’s final reckoning, their dual performances offer the year’s most devastating finale."

"No more profound or authentic than any other costume drama set in ye olde days."

"If there's been a more staggering cinematic catharsis in recent years, I've not experienced it."

"Gorgeous to look at, but in a fussed-over way."
