Critics' Reviews

What makes Chloé Zhao's films so special is the way they convey nature's transcendent quality. From "The Rider" to her Oscar-winning "Nomadland" and even her unloved Marvel blockbuster "Eternals," they find the mystical within our everyday surroundings, making the prosaic feel profound. That aesthetic instinct is the best part of "Hamnet," Zhao's wildly hyped fifth film.
