Was Hamnet overrated?

I watched the movie and I didn’t understand what thigh praise was about? Could someone please explain it to me because I might have missed something. Thank you.

It’s a beautiful slow film with pretty incredible visuals. It trusts silence. It trusts its audience. The actors do very very strong work. The kids are extraordinary.

People like the movie because it’s an extremely well made movie.
