Rosario @Cymru99 1d I absolutely loved 'Hamnet'. Zhao's incredible direction, Jessie Buckley's moving and superlative performance, the intimacy that permeates every one of the children's dialogues, the love shattered by irreparable tragedy... There is nothing in this film that isn't meticulously crafted. See more Read all reviews
