Grand Theft Hamlet Is a Delightful Putting-on-a-Show Documentary
Briefly

Sam Crane expresses his frustrations during the pandemic, lamenting, "It's shit - everything's shit. I have nothing now," reflecting the widespread despair felt by many artists.
Grand Theft Hamlet serves as both a creative outlet during lockdown and a poignant comment on the fading relevance of the internet, as represented by avatars in a digital realm.
Crane and Grylls' documentary captures a sense of loss, with the discussion transitioning from personal struggles to a larger cultural commentary on the decline of once-thriving online spaces.
As they navigate a luxurious virtual landscape in Grand Theft Auto Online, Crane and Grylls poignantly highlight how the internet's golden age seems to be coming to an end.
