Hamnet review: Jessie Buckley conjures up the performance of a lifetime in a mythical Shakespearean tragedy

Hamnet Cast: Jessie Buckley, Paul Mescal, Jacobi Jupe, Noah Jupe, Emily Watson, Joe Alwyn Director: Chloé Zhao Rating: ★★★★★ ‘To be, or not to be, that is the question’ is one of the most famous lines not only in Shakespeare’s canon but in all of literature. Chloé Zhao’s new film, Hamnet, nominated for a bunch of Oscars, interrogates a new pathway of looking into the same line, reimagining the figure of Shakespeare himself at the periphery. As played by Paul Mescal, he has just lost his only son and returns to the blank page with his bleeding heart. When that moment arrives, the words are raw and unadorned in their power, as if they are being constructed for the first time verbatim.

Stars descend on the BAFTA film awards, with ‘One Battle’ and ‘Sinners’ leading the race

LONDON — TO MOVE AT 0500GMT SUNDAY Stars descend on the BAFTA film awards, with ‘One Battle’ and ‘Sinners’ leading the race Politically charged thriller “One Battle After Another” and blues-steeped epic “Sinners” lead the race for Sunday’s British Academy Film Awards as the two movies jostle for awards-season supremacy. Oddsmakers suggest Shakespearean family tragedy “Hamnet” could beat them to best picture if British film industry voters respond to the emotionally rich story, earthy English setting and intense performances of Chloé Zhao’s adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s historical novel. “One Battle” has 14 nominations, including best picture and acting nods for five of its cast. “Sinners” is just behind with 13, while “Hamnet” and the ping-pong odyssey “Marty Supreme” each have 11 nominations. Guillermo del Toro’s reimagining of “Frankenstein” and Norwegian family drama “ Sentimental Value” each got eight nominations. The British prizes, officially called the EE BAFTA Film Awards, often provide hints about who will win at Hollywood’s Academy Awards, held this year on March 15. In the Oscar nominations, “Sinners” leads the race with …
