A cryptic and overwhelming film that feels like the work of a mad prophet who has read The Book of Revelation and Green Eggs and Ham too many times. While the haunting visuals are justly lauded, I was even more taken with the sound design, which alternates between sonic assault and painful silence.

You can’t call a movie HAMNET. I don’t care if that was the kid’s name. You just can’t call a movie HAMNET. You can’t ask people to ask for a ticket to see something called HAMNET.

One of those flicks where trying to follow the plot is an impediment to enjoyment. Everything else about the movie is fab. The Bava-esque colors. The ornate sets. The dexterity and tireless commitment to the bit of the actors as they fly around on wires and shoot laser beams out of their fingers.
