Hamnet is astounding. The cinematography is gorgeously lush and beautiful and makes you want to lie down on a forest floor with Agnes, who is played by Jessie Buckley in what has to be one of the most amazing performances of the year. If she doesn't win Best Actress at the Academy Awards, we will be shocked; she has already won the Golden Globe and Critics Choice awards.
And the score by Max Richter will melt your heart. In a remarkable casting choice, the boys who play the son Hamnet (Jacobi Jupe, 12) and the actor Hamlet (Noah Jupe, 20) are real-life brothers and superb actors in their own right.
Hamnet received eight Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, and already won that award at the Golden Globes. Now playing through Feb. 12.
