Mariana Ant is thoughtful and often visually absorbing, but its emotional gravity never quite pulls you all the way in.

H is for Hawk is a gentle, visually rich, and thoughtfully acted exploration of grief that values subtlety over catharsis. It doesn’t always find the emotional lift its subject promises, but Claire Foy’s performance, the extraordinary presence of Mabel the Hawk, and the film’s calm, observational beauty make it a worthwhile watch.

What 1981 does particularly well is sit with the discomfort rather than smoothing it over. The Londons capture that volatile mix of excitement, confusion, and second-hand embarrassment that defines so many formative memories.
