Hamnet

an unusual and high-quality artukha turned out. very stylized and atmospheric shot. Zhao really knows how to play this kind of thing and masterfully presents this story beautifully.

this is very, very not for everyone. slowly, reflexively and with attention to small details. I would even say, with immersion in this whole atmosphere. costumes, locations, characters, and staging are a thrill.

The acting is worthy of a special mention. they drag out the drama entirely.
I don't know what will happen with the Oscar, but I consider the awards I have already received well deserved.

After leaving the hall, they were in a state of prostration. there is something to discuss after watching, and it is unlikely that the film will quickly fade from my mind.

It's rare to like how books are adapted, especially such complex ones. This time, everything is right on point for me: the actors, the setting, the overall impression. I even liked how they revealed the last scene in a little more detail than in the book. Tears flowed freely in the cinema. After the credits rolled, people did not rush to the exit as usual. There was such silence… That says a lot.

Shakespeare's life and the Pain that exists before the beginning of art. Half the film was drowned in tears. And the end was finished off by Max Richter's favorite music.💔

Shakespeare can and should be filmed much better. It turned out to be something sluggish, indistinct and quickly forgotten. I don't want to say that Paul Mezcal is completely wooden, but he doesn't have the charisma and talent for starring in serious and even semi-serious films, as shown by Gladiator 2. Shakespeare is too difficult for him, weak performance. Jessie Buckley in the role of Agnes is also like that, I didn't see anything brilliant in her performance and definitely not for the awards performance.

I would also point out the disadvantages of poor camera work, the scenery and entourage of the era are very cheaply recreated. Zhao's direction is nothing. A lot of long-term close-ups just to delay the timing. The dramatic component is poorly represented and does not catch on in any way. In general, it's a dreary film, but current critics will certainly praise it and extend it to awards, because "it's the way it's supposed to be."

I'm not going to lie, I liked it, but I didn't have enough catharsis. Undoubtedly, this is a beautiful and profound film, the amazing work of everyone: the cameraman, the decorator, the make-up artist, the composer and, of course, the actors themselves. Jessie Banks' game was magical. Her suffering and pain, her silent scream, really hooked me.💔 I really hope that her work will be appreciated!

But... But it wasn't enough for me. I didn't appreciate the final scene. Despite the deep meaning, I didn't have any strong feelings or feelings...

However, if this film wins the Oscar, bypassing "Battle after Battle" and "Sinners", I will not be outraged))

It's great.…

The scenery is magnificent
The actors are good too, and both are
And of course Zhao knows how to shoot beautifully.

But the ending of the film is very long, of course..

It was very measured, but I liked it)

On the Nature of Daylight in the end is, of course, the fiercest cringe) But on the whole, it's like I've never seen anything better in my entire life. The film takes away all the strength, all the emotions, and after that it's hard to talk about anything. And before the final scene, I had only one question: was his whole theater worth it to trade for him a happy life with his family and the opportunity to help his beloved son, wife, and children in difficult times? There seems to be an answer at the end, but it is very doubtful. Jessie Buckley, of course, deserves an Oscar.

I watched the movie right after the recently released "The Maid". It was like taking a breath of fresh air.😁

I didn't like the movie, and I rarely like movies like this. After them, there is a terrible desire to drown yourself in depression and not resurface. The result: an act of terrible violence against oneself.

I was so impressed by this movie! The denouement is special. I hope he wins the Oscar in all the nominations.

I cried a lot, of course, although, as always, I wasn't going to. Shakespeare and Hamlet are just a shell in this universal story about the loss of a child and attempts to survive grief. Such a story cannot leave anyone indifferent. However, the ending is slightly or not slightly delayed.
It was beautifully shot visually, and for the first time I liked Paul Mezcal in the film.

[possible spoilers]

To be honest, I don't understand how to get back to normal after this movie.

there was a scene where a woman says that you should not let your guard down with children for a second — that they are breathing, laughing, playing, but you should never forget that they may not be there — and immediately after these words they show us Hamnet's face... and it was so cruelly emotional that I inside, everything just snapped.

Jessie Buckley is a genius. I realized this after the lost daughter, but here she seems to take it a step further. The way she lives through grief—not with words, but with her eyes, body, and pauses—it's impossible to play it "beautifully." It's too real, too painful. It's just impossible to look at her in places, because you believe her every condition.

and the boy who played Hamnet... that's a separate pain. He was so alive, warm, and real that it makes the whole story feel even harder. His every moment on the screen only reinforces the sense of inevitability that hangs over the film.

In general, the film doesn't hit with loud scenes, but with silence — nature, light, and the way time slows down around loss. He doesn't explain anything superfluous, he just leaves you inside this state.

it was very beautiful and very unbearable at the same time. And, honestly, I do not know when I will be able to digest it. 😪

Jesse Buckley absolutely deserves all the awards! And I hope she takes the Oscar too.

I got into the movie and the characters, honestly, only by the middle of the picture, but then..
The film broke my heart and split my soul
when on the nature of daylight played in the finale...
that's it. It was a breakup. The tears came on their own

I give Chloe Jao a standing ovation.

Every encounter with creations that allow you to relive and rethink something important for yourself is an incredibly valuable experience. and the second time this happens to me is thanks to the work that Paul participated in, and it is his performance in this film that makes me sort out the parts, look at them, gain a new understanding, perhaps put some balm on it all and reassemble, feeling more fulfilled, feeling the separation of my experience and my feelings with someone.. although the more highly regarded Jessie Buckley in the role of Agnes deserves all the praise and honors, of course.
It's an opportunity to find some healing in art; an echo of what Will and Agnes were able to experience at the end of the film.

I love Maggie O'Farrell's book very much, she broke me into small pieces, and I was crying at 3 a.m. when I turned the last page. I immediately had to lower my expectations of the film, purely for subjective reasons, because I think it's impossible to film such a masterpiece and hit the nail on the head. Chloe Zhao got a lot of respect))

The locations, the costumes, the musical accompaniment, and the acting are all wonderful. but I missed the scenes with Agnes after Hamnet's funeral. her apathy and overwhelming grief were not enough. this story is not about Shakespeare - as far as I remember, he is never called by his full name in the book, and even here in the subtitles he was listed as "husband" up to a certain point. I had concerns that the film adaptation might shift the viewer's attention from Agnes to him, and I'm afraid that's what happened. I consider all the awards and nominations Jessie Buckley has already received absolutely deserved: she played the scenes that she had perfectly. and Agnes was horrified immediately after her son's death. but it was as if there was no loss of interest in her life afterwards. but the efforts of the husband-father-brother-son showed - and showed very well. the scene with Shakespeare by the river, where the eternal "to be or not to be" finds him, is strong, and it seemed to me that there was no such strong scene with Agnes, grieving and fading away from her loved one.

but I still can't raise my hand to rate the film at anything less than 4.5. it was very beautiful and very sad.

It's a very beautiful and deep film!! I just admired watching it. Such a story, that's really touching to the core. Definitely worthy of at least some kind of Oscar, I definitely recommend you to get acquainted with this picture.

If I were given a penalty for the scene of a mother's grief after losing her child, under "on the nature of daylight", I would have two penalties. Which is not a big deal, but it's strange that it happened twice.

If Jesse doesn't win the Oscar, I'll have to write a play to handle it, too.

I liked the movie, took it by the heart, and in the end brought it to tears. 😭

It's beautiful, attractive, and extremely dramatic in the second half. The film is truly worthy of the nominations it was nominated for. Even more. But still, it's quite rare for me to really get hooked on paintings in an arthouse way, and "Hamnet" also lacked something to become a favorite.

I will not say in any case that the film is bad - my wife read the book, she says that there is a more theatrical accent, but in the film there is a noticeable bias in favor of the film medium and working with the audience, the blonde Hamlet, for example, playing the conditional Chalamet, is clearly not a theatrical injection. I like how fresh the editing is - it seems to take into account the mental dysfunction of tiktok's generation, but the transitions to short attenuation span and chronological jumps are cleverly disguised so that it looks smooth. It feels like the twenties will be defined by the kinks of just such a rhythm and spirit. Is he considered the avant-garde of the twenties or bold because of this? Probably not. But in general, let it be.

It was a powerful moment.

It's a very beautiful film, incredibly sensual, and the actors did their best.

It was played superbly. And they really put Tragedie of Hamnet. I'm kind of wildly delighted with how William made everyone in the theater cry through the production. It's clear that you didn't need much in those days, but God, it was wonderful. And the scene of the second birth, this water, the flood... there seemed to be something so ordinary, but mystical about this scene. It just happened. I also felt a chill at night by the river. William has such despair and sorrow there. Terrible and wonderful at the same time.

And I would like to note separately how the Hamnet actor played in an adult way, about this look. I hope we'll see this boy in other films.

And then I suddenly realized that there was something of the Perfumer in this movie, perhaps this scene with the crowd... But who knows.

In general, it is both a wonderful and a difficult film.

PULLING AN OWL ON THE GLOBUS THEATER

The love story of William our Shakespeare and his wife, which ends with a drama that turns into the best theatrical tragedy.

Oh, how difficult it is to write a synopsis for Hamnet so that it doesn't raise expectations from scratch. Apparently, Chloe Zhao is not my director. Actually, it's not just not mine. The Eternal's collections confirm this - it was necessary to try there to become the first real box office failure for Marvel, which could literally serve feces to the audience with a shovel, and the audience would demand more. It's easier with the festival cinema - here you can pretend that you are "not tasteless" and the plebs did not understand you. But in reality, you're just making a boring movie. Like "Land of the Nomads," which won an Oscar in several major nominations a few years ago.

For two hours of the film adaptation of the novel of the same name by Maggie O'Farrell, who based her book on a popular but not very viable theory about the origin of the play "Hamlet" (and let's forget about Saxo Grammaticus, who recorded the legend of Dan Amled several centuries earlier), Paul Mescal (Shakespeare) spends time off-screen as if he He is a vicious child support defaulter, and Jessie Buckley (Shakespeare's wife) frighteningly puffs out her cheeks, rolls her eyes, howls, screams, cries, and in the second half of the film she also gets "hearing problems" - she constantly repeats the last word in literally every phrase of Shakespeare. At that moment, firstly, I caught flashbacks from Kojima's Metal Gear Solid, where Snake was constantly yelling into the radio: "Metal Gear?!", and secondly, it became absolutely impossible for my wife and me to watch the movie because of the bursting laughter. Let me remind you: this is, damn it, a critically acclaimed drama from all over the world. Yes, the picture is good in places, and everything related to the notorious Hamnet (from the kid playing it to the theme of the twins' favorite pastime of swapping places) is also good, but this horror a la "Witch", but without horror, does not inspire at all. And the first production of Hamlet is difficult to watch. I wish it would all be over as soon as possible. And the local performer of the Prince of Denmark also makes disgusting faces - perhaps Zhao was deliberately forced to act out exactly this way, taking into account the realities and dramatic abilities of British actors of the late XVI - early XVII centuries. Thank you for at least not fully showing the play... It would be a turnaround, though. The plot is definitely more exciting.

While watching Hamnet, I had a thought: "You know what? May Coogler's "Sinners" win the Oscar for Best Film! It's better than the Hamnet. Both that tape and that one are favorites, so at least "Sinners" is interesting to watch, and it's better shot. I'm not talking about the great music from there. Yes, even the almost three-hour "Secret Agent" looks like an adrenaline non-stop action movie compared to the two-hour "Hamnet". In general, the bullshit is on vegetable oil.

P.S. If Hamlet is Hamlet, not Hamlet/Hamlet/Hamlet, why is Hamnet a Hamnet and not a Hamnet? In this regard, the credits in the prologue, translated into Russian, look funny, explaining that Hamlet and Hamnet are variations of the same name. Yeah, damn, it's the same thing. Like Yaropolk and Svyatopolk. Like Lyosha and Lenya. Like Rostislav and Vladislav. Yes, I understand, that's how it happened historically (well, like William the Conqueror, which is William), but it still looks ridiculous in this particular case.

RATING: 2.5 shadows of Hamlet's father out of 5

The ending turned out to be quite strong and got me emotional. So I liked the movie. Imagine my surprise when I saw in the credits that it was directed by Chloe Zhao, who shot "Land of the Nomads" and "Eternal", which I did not like. Nevertheless, the movie is really good. Jessie Buckley played well and earned her Golden Globe. I think she'll get an Oscar too.

Buckley won an Oscar- absolutely deservedly.

It is a very beautiful film from a visual point of view (along with Train Dreams, the most beautiful film of this year's nominees) and very difficult from a moral point of view. I am very happy for Jessie Buckley - her playing in Hamnet sometimes made her feel really uncomfortable, so she received the award more than deservedly.

I'll leave it here to admire. I really like with "I'm thinking how to end everything", It's been clear for a long time that the golden uncle is a matter of time. I deserve to go skating for the season like no one else

This is a Movie, a movie with a capital letter. A worthy work. Beautiful, sensual, hard, easy, then hard again, what you want to get from a high-quality strong painting

I cried like a bitch

I expected more from Zhao. Very slow, pretentious and manipulative. The story had potential, but the realization was disappointing. The film is more about maternal pain, but it is presented ponderously and without air. I've been watching from behind the Mescal Floor, but there's surprisingly little of it here. Not mine.

It's a great movie, the actors are gorgeous. Emotionally, it's hard, but time flew by that I didn't even notice.
