Agnes, the wife of William Shakespeare, struggles to come to terms with the loss of their only son, Hamnet – the grief driving a wedge between the couple. Shakespeare, meanwhile, channels the tragedy and his sorrow into his work, creating Hamlet.

Chloé Zhao (Nomadland, The Rider) brings a rawness and honesty to this profound portrait of love, grief and the power of storytelling. This adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s bestselling novel features mesmerising performances by Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal. 

Presented as part of the 69th BFI London Film Festival in partnership with American Express.
