“Hamnet is another slow burn from Chloe Zhao, but when it really unleashes its magic it’s an unstoppable force enhanced by Jessie Buckley’s performance. A beautiful examination of mourning and artistic catharsis.”
— Kristen Lopez, The Film Maven

KPAC presents HAMNET. After losing their son Hamnet to plague, Agnes and William Shakespeare grapple with grief in 16th-century England. A healer, Agnes must find strength to care for her surviving children while processing her devastating loss. Breaking hearts and mending them in one fell swoop, Hamnet speculates on the inspiration behind Shakespeare’s masterpiece with palpable emotional force thanks to Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal’s astonishing performances. Nominated for eight Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director (Chloé Zhao), and Best Actress (Jessie Buckley).
