Shakespeare family tragedy Hamnet wins top prize
The Straits Times
|September 16, 2025
TORONTO Hamnet, a devastating period drama about the life of English playwright William Shakespeare and his family, won the top prize at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sept 14.
-
The heartrending movie stars Irish actor Paul Mescal as Shakespeare, who tries to forge a career as a playwright while his wife Agnes played by Irish actress Jessie Buckley - contends with the perils of plague and childbirth in Elizabethan England.
It comes from China-born film-maker Chloe Zhao, 43, who directed the Oscar-winning Nomadland (2020).
Securing the Toronto award, on top of glowing reviews, confirms Hamnet as another Academy Award front runner.
