Overview
After losing her beloved father, Helen finds herself saved by an unlikely friendship with a stubborn hawk named Mabel. Through the bond, Helen rediscovers the beauty of being alive.
It seems the market for films that have a meditative feel to them is small since we don’t see many of them. This is definitely one of those films, and I enjoyed it. Foy and the cast do an excellent job with a sensitive subject. The movie ultimately isn’t about the bird, of course. I generally enjoyed the time I spent with the film and the heart that the movie has, even if it was a few minutes longer than it needed to be.
