âFullerâs premise could have taken many directions. Itâs the sense of wonder Dust Bunny articulates that mesmerizes. But the writing doesnât serve only to carry the visual splendor. Itâs a clever script, edged with pathos and vulnerability, hinting at metaphor without ever submitting to it.â

Hamnet is one of the yearâs best: âPeople make movies about grief all the time. We can expect one every Oscar season. But what ChloĂ© Zhao does with Hamnet is ask us to experience that grief, not just witness it, and in experiencing it we understand the power and vital importance of art.â
