The Guardian : (★★★★) ‘Zhao is a good fit for the material. She, too, a close observer of nature and of the many aching, yearning people passing thrpugh it. But she has previously not made anything as traditionally tailored and refined as this.
‘ The Hollywood Reporter: ‘ In Hamnet the two always go hand in hand: joy and fear, love and loss. One feeds into the other in a cycle as old als life itself and unavoidable. But just as her William Shakespeare turns the pain of being caught between the two into the masterpiece that is Hamlet, Zhao harnesses those elements into something gorgeous and cathartic.’
