El Festival de Telluride, que arrancó ayer y anunció su programación 24 horas antes, ha albergado los estrenos mundiales de 'Hamnet', 'Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere' y 'Maldita suerte'. Aunque las tres han sido bien recibidas, la palma se la lleva sin duda 'Hamnet', que se ha convertido de manera automática en una aspirante a todo en los Oscar. La nueva película de Chloé Zhao, adaptación de la celebrada novela de Maggie O'Farrell (que ha escrito el guion junto a ella), está siendo celebrada por la prensa desplazada a Telluride como una de las mejores de lo que llevamos de año. Se hablan maravillas del trabajo de dirección y guion de la cineasta ganadora del Oscar, de los aspectos técnicos de la película y de las interpretaciones de Jessie Buckley y Paul Mescal. 'Hamnet' se ha convertido en lo más parecido que tenemos ahora mismo a una 'frontrunner'.
I'm still blown away by the performances Chloe Zhao pulled from the utter depths of Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal's souls in Hamnet. The imaginary Shakespeare tale's emotional deluge may not be for everyone, but I found it truly exhilarating. #Telluridehttps://t.co/At6pV90JX1

Is it even a Telluride without being devastated by Paul Mescal? Hamnet is one of the most heartbreaking and beautiful movies I’ve ever seen. Jessie Buckley is so primal, feral and stunning. Might be Mescal’s best performance. It’s the best film of the year. #Telluride pic.twitter.com/3wsnNWDan8

Devastated by HAMNET. A gut-wrenching tale of the way grief pulls us apart, and how we try to pull ourselves back together again.

Buckley and Mescal are astounding, and Zhao’s sensitive, naturalistic direction makes everything work.
So much more to process. pic.twitter.com/THc1lGZqfa
An astonishingly beautiful adaptation of the novel — Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet broke me. Buckley delivers the performance of the year. Mescal is incredible. The score is breathtaking. Extraordinary. #tellluridefilmfestival pic.twitter.com/7XXS0R15Mw

#Hamnet broke my heart over and over again. A tremulous, gorgeously acted film that left that audience in audible tears throughout the second half. I cannot articulate anything...just so blown away. #Telluride pic.twitter.com/CcDPJQg1pe

#Hamnet broke my heart. Simply devastated by how deeply I felt this film. In a way, it’s a perfect film. Jesse Buckley and Paul Mescal deliver in ways I never thought possible. It really kind of broke me. 💔 pic.twitter.com/EwFfyWRtlB

HAMNET: devastating, gorgeous, technically immaculate. Hardest I’ve cried in a movie in years (really!) and with my favorite performance of the year, from the incomparable Jessie Buckley. Chloe Zhao, back on very fine form. #Telluride

#Hamnet is an elegant, emotionally devastating portrait of a family trying to make sense of their world crumbling around them. Chloé Zhao’s brilliant, confident direction is matched my fantastic, career best performances from Buckley & Mescal. The best film of the year so far!!

Jessie Buckley is incredible throughout #Hamnet, but it’s the last 20 minutes where you’ll be blown away by her — and she barely has any dialogue. It’s just a simple look and a gesture that break you. #telluridefilmfestival

HAMNET is the year’s most elemental film, a thing of twisted bark and fevers and bedrock grief. You can know that it takes inspiration from Shakespeare’s home life, but these stories come from the natural world. Chloé Zhao is back in a zone where she is peerless. #Telluride

Según las publicaciones y reacciones parece que Zhao junto a O'Farrell hicieron modificaciones pero que si ayudaron al film, entre ellas expandir el rol de Mescal para hacerlo más protagonista.
