Hamnet

PG-13	2 h 5 mins	4

Agnes and William Shakespeare's happy, prosperous marriage and life become strained after the sudden, tragic death of their son, Hamnet. They struggle to come to terms with the tragedy until it is transformed into the tragedy known as Hamlet.

This is a well-done period drama set in the 16th century. The film is adapted from the novel, a fictionalized account of the real tragedy in William Shakespeare's life. The film is a slow burn, with the story and drama developing gradually, culminating in a satisfying, emotional climax. The two-hour, five-minute runtime is lengthy, with slow pacing interspersed with scenic shots, dialogue, and dramatic, heart-wrenching moments. An amazing, beautiful film and story worth watching, but it may not be worth a ticket for most.
