Not many things in life will have you pumping your fist in the air, but watching little Tommy Robinson’s (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon’s) face and bravado drop when he gets called out for his racism and hypocrisy by boxer Ty Mitchell is one of them.
This is glorious. 🔥

HAMNET is the first film I've seen in ages that moved me to tears. Big emotions but sensual, earthy and understated. Miles apart from standard period drama (the fact it's about Shakespeare is almost incidental). Beautifully made & acted, especially Jessie Buckley, who deserves all the awards going.
