This was a good movie, Jessie is the star of the movie. Just make sure you have tissue with you, when you see this movie.

Captivating! Deeply emotional story. Chloé Zhao presented a fantastic movie. Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal are not only outstanding in their roles, but bring this movie to life. OSCAR all the way around!

Poor editing, slow, and Shakespeare had about 20 lines.

Zhao, bouncing back from the Marvel “Eternals” paycheck picture/debacle, serves up a touching romance between a distracted young man of letters and a woman so attuned to nature she hunts with a pet hawk, knows the uses of every herb and tree and the incantations that go with their preparation and is thus labeled the “daughter of a witch.”

It's true that many viewers have already fallen under its spell, but Zhao and O'Farrell have stripped away so much of what makes the novel magical – the time-travelling structure, the hypnotic prose rhythms, the internal monologues and the tiny, tangible details – that what's left is no more profound or authentic than any other costume drama set in ye olde days.

Mescal is quite good and tender in these final moments, as Will grapples with his grief. But it is Buckley who remains the shining beacon that keeps Hamnet alive.
