Hamnet, a tear jerker I loved.

[NNadir]

Hamnet.

If you studied the life of Shakespeare - his times - in high school or later, the staging of the movie alone makes it worth watching.. (I had the best possible high school teacher for Shakespeare, who 55 years later I still recall fondly.)

I have never seen the Globe Theater (which is shown at the end of the film) better modeled in the way I have understood it over the years.

The acting is superb, and I found the (fictional) story of Shakespeare's imagined home life very compelling. It's a cut above of similar movies, say for instance, Shakespeare in Love.

I'm an old sentimental fool, but I have to say I wept during part of it, since I cannot imagine living through the death of a child, and the grief it must entail. It's portrayed very well.

I basically concur with this review: The Most Devastating Movie I’ve Seen in Years

I recommend the film highly.
