Conclusion: 3/5
Based on the memoir by Helen Macdonald. I love the musical score by Emily Levienaise which makes the film come more alive. I think Claire Foy’s performance is incredible plus she comes across so natural. The shots of the goshawk are amazing. How they got those shots I don’t know. There is just one scene in this that I felt could have been cut and wasn’t really necessary to leave in. The cinematography was beautifully crafted.
