Plot
When Hamlet returns for his father’s funeral, he is stunned to discover his uncle Claudius is marrying his newly widowed mother. Visited by his father’s ghost, Hamlet learns his brutal murder was at the hands of Claudius - and spirals into a quest for vengeance that exposes the rot at the heart of the family’s empire and threatens his own sanity.

Hamlet Review

‘Hamlet’ Boasts a Magnetic Riz Ahmed as Shakespeare’s Troubled Antihero. Art Malik, Joe Alwyn, Morfydd Clark and Timothy Spall also feature in the ensemble of Aneil Karia’s London-set update of the Bard’s famous tragedy. If you’re going to tackle a Shakespeare play on film –– particularly the complex web of family tragedy that is ‘Hamlet’ -- be prepared for challenges.

But with this present-day version, director Aneil Karia and writer Michael Lesslie bring a fierce energy to their effort.
