Ronald H @RT44372985 06/18/2023 This film captures the spirit of the Harry Crews novel quite well. It's odd, disturbing, grotesque, and heartbreaking, but it's also compelling and ultimately life affirming. Paul Giamatti gives one of the greatest performances of his career. "The Hawk is Dying" is rightfully filmed in Gainesville, Florida, where the original book was set. Crews lived there for decades and taught at the University of Florida. He died there in 2012. In many ways, his spirit haunts that town. It also haunts this movie. See more 12/06/2015 Fascinating story. Great cast. Too bad the script gives them next to nothing to work with. See more 04/10/2014 While the story leaves much to be desired Paul Giamatti gives a stunning performance! See more 02/06/2013 An incredibly hard movie for me to care about, despite Paul Giamatti's stand out performance. The hawk gets annoying, particularly when he starts carrying it around. The pace is too slow, despite the sombre events I just lost interest. The scene when his nephew's body is discovered is powerful, beautiful and raw performances make this a stand out scene, I just wish this power had continued throughout the whole movie. A bit of a sleeper. See more 06/03/2012 Weird. Eccentric. But endearing. Enjoyed it. See more 07/15/2011 A warm and wonderful, lesson learning experience. See more Read all reviews
