“Hamnet” is a therapeutic film: it is a film about grief, connection and the transformative and therapeutic power of art.
Moreover, these are the words of Jessie Buckley , the film’s protagonist concerning her career as an actress:
“I was just lost. When you’re told, culturally, in different ways, that you have to kind of mould yourself into a shape that doesn’t naturally fit you, in some ways you incubate that messaging and then it becomes self-destructive,” she said.
“Once I realised that, my life goal has been to unravel myself from the sort of miseducation, from stories that don’t actually serve me, and just find life,” Jessie added.
