H is for Hawk

Co-written by Emma Donoghue (Room) and based on the bestselling memoir by Helen MacDonald.

After her father’s (Brendan Gleeson) death, Helen (Claire Foy) is consumed by grief and memories of their birding adventures. Fixated on training a goshawk, she brings the formidable Mabel into her solitary life at Cambridge. As she devotes herself to taming the wild bird, Helen undergoes her own unravelling, finding in nature a path toward reconciling loss, love, and life.
