“Being with Mabel, it’s an honest encounter with life.” Roadside Attractions / Lionsgate have revealed the first official trailer for a wonderful film based on a true story called H is for Hawk, adapted from the book of the same name. This premiered at the 2025 Telluride & London Film Festivals this fall, and is expected to open in theaters starting in December during the middle of the awards season. H is for Hawk follows Helen, who, after the sudden death of her father, loses herself in the memories of their time birding & exploring the natural world together and turns the ancient art of falconry—rooted in European tradition—training a wild goshawk (more info) named Mabel to navigate her profound loss. But as she teaches Mabel to hunt & fly free, Helen discovers how deeply she has neglected her own emotions and life. And that she must learn to fly, too. What begins as an act of endurance transforms into an intimate journey of resilience and healing. The film stars Claire Foy as Helen, and Brendan Gleeson as her father, along with Sam Spruell, Josh Dylan, Lindsay Duncan, and Denise Gough.
