Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com “H is for Hawk” is so long-winded that when the aching payoff does arrive, its effectiveness is not enough to erase the exorbitant amount of time spent getting there. Sep 3, 2025 Full Review Peter Debruge Variety Instead of bemoaning what’s missing, it’s best to recognize what is there. On that front, “H Is for Hawk” remains a moving account of one person’s eccentric interest in falconry. Sep 2, 2025 Full Review David Ehrlich IndieWire The trouble here has less to do with verisimilitude than engagement; this story about the power and pratfalls of emotional projection simply doesn’t inspire enough feeling for us to see much of anything on either of its two blank screens. Rated: C+ Sep 2, 2025 Full Review J. Don Birnam Next Best Picture Whatever one makes of the title, Claire Foy's performance alone is reason enough to see it. She soars in a role that proves once again why she is among the finest actors working today. Rated: 6/10 Sep 3, 2025 Full Review Pete Hammond Deadline Hollywood Daily This is a film that doesn’t pander for tears, but genuinely earns them. It is the stuff of life.
