Already the Best Actress Oscar frontrunner, Jessie Buckley is remarkable as William Shakespeare’s wife Agnes in Chloé Zhao’s grief-soaked drama.
Adapted from Maggie O’Farrell’s largely speculative novel about the Hamlet's conception, the film builds to an immaculate depiction of one of its first performances. We see only a handful of its scenes performed but feel the full force of its impact.
"Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley beguile and captivate in audacious Shakespearean tragedy", Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
