These are the deep questions posed by the new prequel to Hamlet, “Hamnet”, directed by Chloe Zhao. So, did we love this thing, or did it put us to sleep? After all, to sleep, perchance to cream - ay, there’s the rub.

The hype and marketing train behind this thing has been off the charts, but we’re here with the DEFINITIVE take on the new horror film “Weapons”, starring real-life couple Julia Garner and Josh Brolin.
