Tear jerker alert for a movie for the holidays? See Hamnet.
Historical fiction about William Shakespeare's marriage to Anne (Agnes) Hathaway, and the death of their son, Hamnet.
The movie starts by explaining that Hamnet and Hamlet were interchangeable names during Shakespeare's time.
The movie starts slowly as it explores the characters and relationship of Anne and William.
Jessie Buckley who plays Hathaway in the movie is wonderful.
