#paul mescal #his profile - oh my!

#I like how he collects festival merchandise, so he can look back on his fond memories.

The coast was finally clear for me to watch my All Of Us Strangers DVD for the first time. I am now bawling my eyes out at this beautifully sad, masterpiece of a film. It's true what they said, that Andrew Scott gave the best performance of his career in this film. Paul Mescal, Claire Foy and Jamie Bell were also marvellous.

If Paul Mescal could play a character who is not terribly sad, and has had nothing bad ever happen to him, that would be much appreciated. Please and thank you. I love Paul, as he is a sensational actor and easy on the eyes, but he can't keep doing this to me, over and over again. 😭

Anyway, I'll be thinking about this film for a long time. Andrew Haigh can do no wrong.

Score: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#In Australia, we have to wait until January 2026 for THoS to be released in cinemas.

#That's okay. I will enjoy the THoS press tour before September this year.

#Josh and Paul cuteness during the press tour - yes, please!

#I have read the book by Maggie O'Farrell. It's heartbreaking but so well written.

#Take your box of tissues to the cinema for the film adaptation.

#Having to wait at least 7 months for this is too long.

Ranked 9th among the most anticipated films of the upcoming Awards Season is the historical drama by Chloé Zhao (Oscar winner for Nomadland), produced by, among others, Steven Spielberg and Sam Mendes. The film is based on the acclaimed novel Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell, which won the Women’s Prize for Fiction in 2020.

Set in 16th-century England, Hamnet tells the story of William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal) and his wife Agnes (Jessie Buckley), a healer deeply connected to nature, as they face the overwhelming grief of losing their 11-year-old son Hamnet to the plague. The film explores themes of mourning, love, and resilience, offering an intimate glimpse into Shakespeare’s private life and the profound sorrow that would later inspire his iconic tragedy, Hamlet.

The screenplay, co-written by Zhao and O'Farrell, promises a faithful and emotionally engaging adaptation of the novel. Cinematography by Łukasz Żal (Cold War, Ida) ensures a visually refined experience. With its poignant story, high-profile production, and powerful performances, Hamnet stands out as one of the most eagerly awaited contenders for awards recognition.
