Grand Theft Hamlet is a film entirely staged within the chaotic virtual world of Grand Theft Auto Online, and it’s getting a lot of acclaim.
Directed by Sam Crane and Pinny Grylls, this groundbreaking documentary has already secured a 95% Rotten Tomatoes score from over 40 critics and won the Jury Award for Best Documentary Feature at the 2024 SXSW Film Festival.
This wild and creative experiment blends Shakespeare’s Hamlet with the energy of Rockstar Games’ popular GTA universe.
The film follows “two out-of-work actors as they try to stage Hamlet entirely inside the chaotic world of Grand Theft Auto Online. Hailed as ‘‘the year’s funniest documentary’ by Time Out, this SXSW-winning documentary is chaotic, hilarious, and just a little bit insane.”
