"Chloe Zhao's Hamnet won the People's Choice award at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sunday, putting it on an enviable track to Academy Awards contention. This is Zhao's second win at TIFF, her first being in 2020 for Nomadland. She won best director and best picture the same year at the Oscars. Starring Paul Mescal as William Shakespeare and Jessie Buckley as the playwright's wife Agnes, the film follows the couple as they struggle with the death of their 11-year-old son Hamnet."
"It's an adaptation of Maggie O'Farrell's 2020 novel of the same name. Zhao directed and co-wrote the screenplay with O'Farrell. Zhao wasn't present to accept the award and made her acceptance speech via video link. I'd like to share that I was very lonely when I was young, she said. And I wrote stories and I drew manga, and I put them on the Internet so that I could read the comments and the reactions of strangers. Whether they liked them or not, I felt connected to them, and suddenly the world is a little less of a lonely place and life seems to have more meaning."
