Synopsis
The powerful story of love and loss that inspired the creation of Shakespeare's timeless masterpiece, Hamlet.
Reception

- Audience
- 93%
Critics praised the emotional weight of Zhao's drama about the family loss behind Hamlet, especially Jessie Buckley's performance and the sensitive direction and photography. The main reservation was that the adaptation smooths over some of the novel's delicacy and can feel overly artful.
