How Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal found the emotional power of 'Hamnet'

TORONTO (AP) — Chloé Zhao’s “Hamnet,” starring Paul Mescal as William Shakespeare and Jessie Buckley as his wife, Agnes, is expected to be one of the top Oscar contenders of the year. That goes especially for the performances of its two young stars. In an interview, Buckley and Mescal discuss making one of the year’s most emotionally powerful films.
