There’s one dude in the crowd on the vinyl recording of Karly Hartzman and MJ Lenderman Live at Third Man Records who yells a vigorous “Yeah!” each time he realizes which MJL song it’s about to be.

Hamnet absolutely devastated me. I mean, just wept in the theater amongst many other people weeping in the theater.
Heartbreaking, beautifully shot, extremely moving.
Oscar bait? Perhaps. Great movie? Undoubtedly.
Give Jessie Buckley that Oscar right damn now.
