Variety's 'Hamnet' Review: Jessie Buckley Delivers Emotionally Devastating Turn

Having read the book, I knew this role would be a great fit for Buckley. I honestly figured it would be one of those awards-bait films that gets a nod or two, especially for the star, but is largely unremarkable. However, it seems as though Zhao has crafted something truly special here.

I can’t imagine any Actress in films this year overtaking Buckley in Lead Actress. So many great films coming out this year but with reviews like this she has it in the bag. Especially with the polarized reception to Luca guadagnino‘s After the Hunt. 
 

As of right now Jessie Buckley and Jacob Elordi (for Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein) have to be the front runners, no?

Eldori ain't a frontrunner. He's consistently been held up as a high point of GDT's Frankenstein, but the movie's mixed reception will hold him back. There's also the issue of category confusion.

If he's placed in supporting? Stellan Skarsgard is the frontrunner, followed by Jeremy Strong, Adam Sandler, Delroy Lindo, Andrew Garfield, etc..

If he's lead? Jeremy Alan White, George Clooney, and even Dwayne Johnson would arguably be ahead of him.

I finally got to see Hamnet (now on Peacock) and was blown away by the performances in this. The Oscar, for sure, is Jessie’s. I don’t recall any convo on here about that last scene and the power of theater. It was so reaffirming for this theater lover to see since I spend so much time as a part of an audience.

Her Oscar Win tonight was very well deserved. Brilliant Performance.

 

 

east side story said: "Buckley is winning tonight, and it will be one of the greatest wins of all time in that category. She is remarkable in Hamnet, and I am sure this is only the first Oscar with more to come."
