The Roadside Attractions biographical drama H IS FOR HAWK has quietly landed on SVOD, arriving on Prime Video today, July 27th, 2026. The film world premiered at last year’s Telluride Film Festival before launching in US theaters on January 23rd, 2026. It hit VOD and digital platforms on February 24th, 2026.
H Is for Hawk is directed by Philippa Lowthorpe, who co-wrote the screenplay with Emma Donoghue, based on the 2014 memoir by Helen MacDonald. It stars Claire Foy, Brendan Gleeson, Denise Gough, Sam Spruell, Emma Cunniffe, Josh Dylan, Arty Froushan, and Lindsay Duncan.
The film follows Helen (Foy), who, after the sudden death of her father (Gleeson), loses herself in the memories of their time birding and exploring the natural world together and turns the ancient art of falconry, rooted in European tradition, training a wild goshawk named Mabel to navigate her profound loss. But as she teaches Mabel to hunt and fly free, Helen discovers how deeply she has neglected her own emotions and life. What begins as an act of endurance transforms into an intimate journey of resilience and healing.
