Hamnet
A reimagining of the creation of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” this film centers on the familial trauma after the death of Shakespeare’s young son. The cast, including the youthful actors, is stellar and mesmerizing, but none more so than Jessie Buckley, whose viscerally painful portrayal of Shakespeare’s wife, Agnes, earned her a best actress Oscar. Despite the anguish in the film, the finale is remarkably uplifting.

Running 20 minutes, "Solitude" follows a lone protagonist who
enters the woods and slowly realizes they are not alone. What follows is not a
conventional chase, but a mounting sense of dread. Tension builds through pacing, sound, and image rather than shock or
spectacle. Though considered a horror film, it contains no violence or gore,
and no dialogue. The story unfolds entirely through visual language and sound
design, it can be experienced solely as a soundscape or purely visually.

Rarely has Broadway moved to the screen as adeptly as “Hamilton.” This is not a remake of the musical but instead a direct stage-to-film version, one that faithfully captures the hip-hop buoyancy of the original. At America’s 250th, the musical serves as a reminder of our foundational tenets. It does so with actors, lyrics and characters who, contagiously singing and dancing, leap from the pages of history.
