Hamnet

0 upcoming performances in New York

Screening at the Museum of Modern Art, *Hamnet* (2025) is a historical drama directed by Chloé Zhao, written with novelist Maggie O’Farrell, adapting her book about Shakespeare’s household. The film stays close to domestic life as William Shakespeare and Agnes Hathaway reckon with the death of their 11-year-old son. Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal anchor the story, with Emily Watson, Joe Alwyn, Jacobi Jupe, and others in support. A MoMA run places the work within New York’s ongoing tradition of treating new cinema as part of the city’s cultural record.
