Journey back to 1580 England with Popcorn Podcast for a review of Chloé Zhao's breathtaking Hamnet. After losing their son Hamnet (Jacobi Jupe) to plague, Agnes (Jessie Buckley) and William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal) grapple with grief. Healer Agnes must find strength to care for her surviving children while processing her devastating loss.
