H Is for Hawk

H Is for Hawk is the kind of film you watch close together and leave quietly moved. Based on Helen Macdonald's beloved memoir, it's intimate and unusual — a love story between a person and the wild that sneaks up on you emotionally. One of the more widely available films this week, which means you actually have time to choose the right evening.

H Is for Hawk is tender and quietly devastating — a woman in mourning finds an unlikely lifeline in training a fierce hawk named Mabel. It has a way of opening up your heart without you noticing, and makes you grateful for the person sitting beside you. Screenings are limited to one cinema this week — check times and book ahead.
