Movie Preview: Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal tell the tale of “Hamnet,” Shakespeare’s son

The Immortal Bard’s son Hamnet died at 11. His twin, Judith, lived to the ripe old age of 77.

Maggie O’Farrell’s novel about the bereaved parents has been adapted by Oscar winner Chloe Zao (“Nomadland”) with Buckley and Mescal as Agnes and William Shakespeare, and Emily Watson and Joe Alwyn as William’s parents.

This comes out Thanksgiving.
