H is for Hawk

Running time: 119 mins

When Helen's beloved father passes away, she's knocked sideways by grief and loses herself in memories of their time birding and exploring the natural world together. She becomes obsessed with the idea of training her own goshawk, and so she brings the fearsome bird Mabel home to her life as a graduate fellow at Cambridge. Helen fills the freezer with hawk food and turns off her phone, ready to embark on the long, strange business of trying to train this wildest of animals. But as she labours to tame Mabel, a grieving Helen undergoes an untaming of her own. A record of a spiritual journey, H Is For Hawk is a story about memory and nature and how it might be possible to reconcile death with life and love.

Wuthering Heights

Running time: 136 mins

A passionate, tumultuous love story set against the backdrop of the Yorkshire moors, "Wuthering Heights" explores the intense and destructive relationship between the tempestuous Catherine Earnshaw (Margot Robbie) and her tortured counterpart, Heathcliff (Jacob Elordi).

Their forbidden passion for one another eventually turns from amorous to intoxicating in Academy Award-winner Emerald Fennell’s (Saltburn, Promising Young Woman) devilish twist on one of the greatest romances of all time: an epic tale of lust, love and madness.

Stand By Me

Running time: 89 mins

Based on Stephen King’s novella The Body, Stand By Me is brought to the screen by director Rob Reiner, whose sensitive, character-driven approach beautifully captures the heart of King’s coming-of-age tale. The film follows four boys on a life-changing journey to find a missing teenager, confronting danger, deepening friendships, and the bittersweet shift into adulthood. Reiner’s thoughtful direction highlights a more intimate side of King’s storytelling, making this a vital and moving entry in our Stephen King Season.
