Hamnet: Quiet Grief, Sentimental Speculation
Hamnet is getting excellent reviews, deserved in many ways. Beautiful cinematography, excellent acting, quiet and intensely sad—you can plan on a couple Oscar nods for this one. As your resident Shakespeare professor, however, I will suggest—no surprise here—that the film is only tangentially related to the actual Shakespeare.
