Dir: Philippa Lowthorpe 2025 | 115 mins
When Helen's beloved father passes away, she is knocked sideways by grief. She loses herself in memories of their time birding and exploring the natural world together.
Helen becomes obsessed with the idea of training her own goshawk, and so she brings the fearsome bird Mabel home to her life as a graduate fellow at Cambridge.
She fills the freezer with hawk food and turns off her phone, ready to embark on the long, strange business of trying to train this wildest of animals. But as she labours to tame Mabel, a grieving Helen undergoes an untaming of her own.
A story about memory and nature and how it might be possible to reconcile death with life and love.
Based on the memoir by Helen Macdonald and starring Claire Foy, Brendan Gleeson, Denise Gough and Lindsay Duncan.
