"Featured Presentations Director Chloé Zhao's follow-up to 2021's is already becoming a much-discussed topic despite only being in limited theaters until now. Our critic called it the most devastating movie he's seen in years; others are calling it a potential Oscar villain. Hamnet, based on Maggie O'Farrell's novel of the same name, is a dramatization of William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal) and his wife Agnes's (a gutting performance from Jessie Buckley) relationship after the death of their young child, which inspires the Bard to write Hamlet."
"The latest of Rian Johnson's Knives Out films takes on a more somber tone as our new cast of murder-mystery suspects deal with loss, calcified anger, and faith in Wake Up Dead Man. Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) visits a congregation in upstate New York led by Josh Brolin's Monsignor Jefferson Wicks, with assistance from Josh O'Connor's Reverend Jud Duplenticy. As tends to happen, a seemingly impossible murder has Blanc dealing with suspects whose ranks include Andrew Scott, Glenn Close,"
The Ella McCay challenge involves sitting with one leg crossed midair. Options include watching Ella cope with her chaotic family as governor, taking a poster photo after The Grinch rerelease, or streaming the new Knives Out mystery. Chloé Zhao's Hamnet adapts Maggie O'Farrell's novel into a dramatization of William Shakespeare and his wife Agnes mourning their young child's death, an event that inspires Hamlet and has drawn praise as devastating and awards-worthy. Rian Johnson's Wake Up Dead Man sends Benoit Blanc to investigate an apparently impossible murder among suspects wrestling with loss, anger, and faith. HBO plans heavy promotion for a new Harry Potter series while a praised tween-friendly fantasy adaptation already exists.
