Based on the award-winning memoir by Helen Macdonald, this biographical drama tells the true story of a woman who attempts to process the sudden death of her father by adopting and training a fierce northern goshawk. Starring Claire Foy and Brendan Gleeson, the film explores how this unconventional bond with a wild animal serves as a transformative path toward healing and resilience.��“Foy is terrific in a film which balances bruising candour about mental health issues against arresting wildlife photography and a fervent appreciation of the natural world.” – Wendy Ide, Screen International
