    FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/hamnet-review/ "Hamnet is a true work of art that, despite its slow march and some more challenging moments for the uninitiated, rewards perseverance. It's a film about how pain destroys, but also about the miracle of how art can serve as a vessel for redemption or, at least, for understanding. Chloé Zhao took an empty space in history — the life of a forgotten …

    William Shakespeare is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language, though there’s some disagreement about whether he actually wrote the materials attributed to him. Even sketchier than this are some of the details about his personal life, aspects of his character that have been the subject of much conjecture, especially where they may have influenced his literary undertakings. And an examination o…

    Maggie O’Farrell said at this screening that adapting her novel for the screen was akin to watching the sand flow through an hour glass.

I reckon that’s the perfect way to describe just how…

Then the guy next to me started crying, because the final scene from Godfather III was playing on the scene next to the clerk. Then the woman on my other side starting crying, and the the clerk, too. Then Maggie laughed. She's such a little angel. Anyway, the clerk must've figured out what I was ges…

    Atmospheric, heartwrenching, and dark. This is not 'Shakespeare in Love'. This is the tragedy of the bard, even though we know that historically he was not quite that good of a husband to his wife. The movie is more about the indominability of spirit of Anna and the sorrows she faced in her life, with her children, family, strife and death. The movie is beautiful, dark and soulcrushing, in a way. The casting is g…
