The new Chloé Zhao movie proves that division -sex movie was Fluke (TIFF 2025)

On Monday 8:50 am at Monday, I watched a show at the Toronto International Film Festival, at the theater, according to the final action, which was full of viewers crying openly. I was aware of the general story of William Shakespeare’s personal life and read his play “Hamlet” a few years ago; I did not read the novel “Hamnet” That this movie was dependent onHowever, he was therefore not ready to suffer from a great sorrow early in the morning.

Perhaps “hamnet” was not an enjoyable show, but it was a strong experience. Paul Maysal (who plays the famous cold role) and Jesse Bakli (who plays his tragic wife’s role, Agnes, presents the main character of the film) to photograph sadness. You will have to tear through the second chapter, and it will get more difficult from there. There is also a particularly brutal use of Max Richter “On the Nature of Daylight” that was thrown into this movie, which is a heavy violinous degree that is Basically, the symbol of cheating For viewers, they suffocate and blow their nose. This apparently one film – to make you cry – and pulling it without looks soapy or very manipulative.

The absolute competence in which the Melodrama “hamnet” is a satisfaction of the fans of director Chloe Zhao, the director whose hearing was successful in 2021 with “Eternals”. Marvel Studios Superhero was the first feature film for Zhao, which he did not meet with a collective praise, and this is logical because it was its first feature film that was not particularly good.

Certainly, there are parts of “eternity” that acquired a spark similar to “Nomadland” or “The Rider”, but most of them were very confused. I felt that there was a struggle between the sensitivities of the MARVEL Film Universe (with his insistence on the delightful humor and the continuous appointment of future films) and Zhao sensors, which preferred to preserve things serious, personal and subjective. But the biggest issue is that this was one of the rare Marvel films that should have been a TV program instead of the opposite; The ten main characters deserve more than just a two -hour film for them.

The “eternity” was barely the first time that the promising and respected director was critically attached when they tried to produce a major studio. It is similar to the story of “eternity” that was moved similar to the story of David Lynch “Dune” in 1984. Lynch tried to make a group of prevailing films, and fortunately faff, he returned to his personal projects that remained on his sensitivities. In some respects, the failure of the “sand dunes” was The best thing ever happened for lynchBecause he helped him understand exactly what he wanted from his artistic career and his knowledge not to try to play the big studio game again.

Although “eternity” was barely a clear bust of “sand dunes”, Zhao appears to be walking in the same path to follow up on its pioneering failure with a welcoming return to its independent roots. “Hamnet” is almost the opposite of the “eternal” polarity, especially on how it focuses on a small crew instead of a large chaos of the vast characters. It tells one story with a sharp focus. The film does not feel that it is constantly struggling against the limits of this type or operating time. It is a return to the model that strongly means that Marvel was the problem of her last movie, not Zhao herself.

Like “Blue Velvet” proved that Lynch did not go anywhere, “hamnet” proves that Zhao is here to survive. The “eternity” was just a brief stumbling, which may have made it clear what she wanted from her professional life in filmmaking. It helps, like how lynch was happy to give up “sand dunes” in a catastrophic afternoon, Zhao itself It seems to understand The “eternity” did not completely succeed. in A recent interview with Vanity Fair, She offered her to take how she went to MCU south, and how I prepared it to make “hamnet” well as it could be:

” ”I had an unlimited amount of money and resources. Here we have one street angle that we can bear, to stand in Stratford …. “eternity” did not have a lot of restrictions, and this is in fact very dangerous. Because we only have the street angle (in “hamnet”), suddenly everything has a meaning.

“Hamnet” strikes limited theaters on November 27, 2025, and expands the country on December 12, 2025.
