Movie Meetup — Hamnet — Meet from 7:15, film at 8:30

Hamnet succeeds, not because it solves the mystery, but because it deepens it still ...
★★★★★ Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

We're going to see Hamnet, Chloé Zhao's acclaimed adaptation of Maggie O'Farrell's novel, staring Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal.

We'll meet in the Watershed cafe/bar from 7:15 pm, to say hello and chat. Afterwards, we will stop for a few minutes to talk about the film.

Buy your own ticket from the box office or online.

ABOUT THE FILM

"Ultimately, the filmmaker invites the world to feel loss in a new way, and in letting go, liberates something fundamental in all of us."
★★★★★ Peter Debruge, Variety

"It’s Buckley who ... simply beggars belief. She swings back and forth from cast iron to porcelain. The actress is thunderous, playful, grounded and ethereal. She breaks your heart — not only when the worst befalls Agnes, but whenever she cracks a smile."
★★★★★ Johnny Oleksinski, New York Post

"The violent beauty of this film, which rips your soul out of your chest so completely that its seismic grief almost feels like falling in love or becoming a parent, is that it’s as much about the experience of having a child as it is about the experience of losing one."
★★★★★ David Ehrlich, IndieWire
