I Can’t Stop Thinking About Hamnet

⚠️ SPOILER WARNING ⚠️This video contains major spoilers for Hamnet. Please watch the film before continuing. I saw Hamnet and I genuinely can’t stop thinking about it.This film caught me completely off guard. It’s quiet, patient, emotionally devastating, and unlike almost anything else playing in theaters right now. At its core, Hamnet isn’t really about Shakespeare—it’s about grief, love, art, and the way we try to survive unbearable loss.In this video, I talk through the four things that have stayed with me the most:• its restraint and use of silence• the way music and sound design feel inevitable rather than imposed• a final theatrical moment that I’ll never forget• and how the film somehow makes Shakespeare feel more human and accessible than everHamnet reminded me why art exists in the first place—not as entertainment, but as a way to process life, death, and meaning when words fail. I’d love to hear what you thought. Did the film affect you the same way? What moments stayed with you the most?
