I don’t get it, why do people “hate” this movie? Especially the second half is really an emotional roller coaster ride. There are absolutely gorgeous performances by Jessie Buckley, the Jupi brothers and their sisters, and also Emily Watson as the grandmother. Can’t get tired of it!

so plain. This story is interesting, why? The arrogance of some filmmakers to think their boring drivel, and unnecessarily disturbing portions are viable entertainment. Most overrated film since the English patient and dances with wolves

I liked the female lead because her acting was so genuine and I can relate to a lot of her emotions. I cried both times I saw it because it had such an impact on me. I couldn't figure out why no one was talking about this wonerful movie. It took a while to catch on with the public then it was receiving all kinds of awards.

Jessica Buckley again. After Wicked little Letters. Exceptional acting Pascal and her together really carried the story.

Manipulative for sure, but many will shed a tear. The feeling of death was well done in this movie. You could feel the loss and the actors did their best to give life to the screenplay about a mysterious period of time. There are moments where the story struggles, because we don't know much about Anne Hathaway. The weaker scenes feel anachronistic. Wikipedia: "Historian Katherine Scheil describes Hathaway as a 'wife-shaped void' used by modern writers 'as a canvas for expressing contemporary woman's struggles—over independence, single motherhood, sexual freedom, unfaithful husbands, woman's education and power-relations between husband and wife.'" As a meditation on facing death, that's where the movie has its strengths.

Loved it, looking forward to the bluray release!

Jesse Buckley: WOW! What a brilliant actress, she is so raw. I'll be upset if she won't win the Oscar. Paul Mescal was beautiful as always. The children are mesmerizing. The last scene will all the incredible backgrounds, their reaction made it so reel, wow!

Went back to see Hamnet again and brought hubby this time. It was even better the 2nd time. I hadn't noticed the 1st time around the actual relationship of the boy Hamnet to the player, Hamlet. Brilliant! The various emotions the actors expressed were so genuine, authentic and real. We are blown away!

the dramatic skills of the young actors was incredible. The "set design" was top notch. This movie will win the Best Picture and best acting in a category. Don't miss it.

One of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. Should win a lot of awards which it has already. Look our Oscars, here we come.

Boring? Well, if you don’t care much about family stories and feelings and love, that’s what you may think about it. I was captured in my seat by little Hamnet and his sisters, and the love story between Shakespeare and his wife Anne = Agnes, though disrupted by his urge to write for the stage… while only a few facts are known and a lot is inferred, it’s a great insight into what William Shakespeare‘s life might have been, torn between a family‘s father and a famous writer of theater plays. Overall, a very enlightening movie with excellent acting of the cast throughout, balancing tragedy and triumph in a very believable way.

Much ado about nothing. Boring

Boring. I expected more. Completely forgettable. I almost fell asleep … not interesting. The positive comments/reviews must be AI generated

User review rating: 5 December 25, 2025

This is an absolutely stunning movie. There's no description that can capture its quality. Every movie should measure up to this one.

User review rating: 5 December 25, 2025

Awesome movie. An award winner for sure. Acting, costumes, script, set, music - all fitting for an emotionally connected presentation. Bravo.

User review rating: 5 December 20, 2025

Filmmaking at its finest. Prepare to have your heart broken. I was particularly pleased that the director decided to leave poignant scenes free of any back-ground music. Too many movie-makers think it's necessary to add distracting music to every scene.

User review rating: 5 December 16, 2025

WOW! Just wow! That was awesome! Such raw emotion, it really drew you in to the story. Even the kids were great actors! I may need to go back again, and bring hubby, who doesn't care much for movies.

User review rating: 5 December 13, 2025

This is what movies should be. Fascinating from start to finish. Spellbinding visuals. Believable acting. Fitting sounds. Mood swings in the story. Emotional ending. Greatness.

Awesome movie . Definitely academy award nominations for so many categories ! We see a lot of movies throughout the year and this is our favourite. Go see it , you won’t be disappointed!

User review rating: 5 December 06, 2025

Go see it. This is how to make a movie. I haven't been emotional about a story in years. This did it. It's visually beautiful and very well written. The music fits in all the right places. Bravo.

User review rating: 5 December 06, 2025

OMG! What a wonderful movie! It's been a long time since I saw anything of this quality. Acting, music, script, subject, pace... the whole thing was excellence!

User review rating: 5 December 04, 2025

Simply the best film of the year. The cinematography, the captivating acting from Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal, the direction, art direction, score, and the flow of the written screenplay. Flawless!

User review rating: 5 December 03, 2025

Quality movie, the story, the acting, the sets, it was one of the best movies I seen all year and I've seen at least 50 so far.
