★★★½ The Hawk Is Dying

[Gino: 3.5]

Gino says: 'This is a grainy low-budget movie about a mechanic living with his sister in rural Florida, dealing with a frustrating life and a grieving episode, all the while trying to train a hawk on his arm. Seriously, the hawk is on camera the entire last two thirds of the movie. Paul Giamatti is the guy, and he is pleasantly intense to watch. I should say, that while I liked this, and recommend it, there is a fairly high chance YOU will dislike it. So if you take my advise and if I ruined an evening for you, by all means, do let me know.'
