The documentary, following a production of “Hamlet” within “Grand Theft Auto V,” is a high mark for the machinima genre of in-game filmmaking.

Grand Theft Hamlet directors Sam Crane and Pinny Grylls talk about figuring out how to deal with the chaos of the game and stage the scenes of Hamlet.

Grand Theft Hamlet is now available to watch at home, with MUBI adding the film to its catalogue today. MUBI is available to add as a Prime Video channel on Amazon, costing £11.99 per month. However, you can start a 7-day free trial before paying for the subscription.

Grand Theft Hamlet dives headfirst into a topic that is extremely close to my heart: the impact of online gaming during the pandemic. Like many others, I spent months with gaming as my only escape from the daily drudgery and loneliness of the pandemic.
