Synopsis
Claire Foy stars in this luminous adaptation of Helen MacDonald's Award-winning memoir of the same name.
When Helen's (Foy) beloved father passes away, she is overtaken by grief and loses herself in memories of their time birding and exploring the natural world together. She becomes obsessed with the idea of training her own goshawk, and so she brings the fearsome bird Mabel home to Cambridge with her.
Ready to embark on the arduous process of trying to train the wildest of animals, Helen fills the freezer with hawk food and turns off her phone. But as she labors to teach Mabel how to hunt and fly free on her own, Helen uncovers how neglected her own emotions and life have become.
Based on a true story and a memoir of the same name, H IS FOR HAWK is a soaring journey of the connection between people and nature, and how it might be possible to reconcile loss through love.

Reviews
A profoundly moving and utterly engaging cinematic metaphoric meditation on mourning and the transitory nature of life.
H is for Hawk soars with enormous power and beauty when it revels in the mysterious, graceful ways of nature.
A career-best for Foy, who will doubtless win many awards.
