After losing their son Hamnet to plague, Agnes and William Shakespeare grapple with grief in 16th-century England. A healer, Agnes must find strength to care for her surviving children while processing her devastating loss.

“While there’s dStickefinitely an anatomical study of heterosexual relationships here that sings with a modern resonance, the film’s coup de grâce frames art itself as an arcane source of mental wellbeing.” (Rotten Tomatoes)

“…the film serves as a lovely reminder of why art is important, how watching something can make you feel, make you understand, make you consider.” (The Film Stage)

Starring 2026 Oscar winner for Best Actress, Jessie Buckley.
