H is for Hawk

Claire Foy stars alongside Brendan Gleeson in Philippa Lowthorpe’s beautifully realised and emotionally charged adaptation of Helen MacDonald’s award-winning memoir.

Foy plays Helen Macdonald, a Cambridge academic who, following the death of her beloved father (Gleeson) - a veteran photojournalist and nature lover - retreats from the human world and turns to nature instead, taking on the training, care and feeding of a goshawk. This all-consuming task soon dominates her daily schedule and all her attention to the exclusion of work, family, friends and the state of her home, but what begins as a way to cope with her grief gradually evolves into a healing, transformative journey of connection...
