I watched Hamnet today and was hugely moved by it, especially the final scene. Hamnet is about how private grief (the loss of Shakespeare's son) is transformed into enduring art (the tragedy, Hamlet), showing how loss, love, and memory are woven into creativity as a way of making meaning from unbearable absence.
I love what Richard Lawson had to say about the final scene in his review in The Guardian.
The music from the scene is also absolutely sublime. It's the same music that played in the opening and final scene of Arrival (2016) that also moved me so much, also a meditation on grief.
