In late-16th-century Stratford, smitten young tutor William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal) entered a whirlwind courtship with herbalist Agnes Hathaway (Jessie Buckley). She gladly undertook the raising of their three children during his sojourns to London in pursuit of his theatrical ambitions, but the grief from their abrupt loss of their 11-year-old son Hamnet (Jacobi Jupe) may split their union. Chloé Zhao's moving take on the Maggie O'Farrell novel co-stars Emily Watson, Joe Alwyn, David Wilmot. 125 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
