The Hawk Is Dying

The Hawk Is Dying (2006) -***
Directed By: Julian Godlberger
Starring: Paul Giamatti and Michelle Williams














"The Hawk Is Dying" is a low-key gem.


George Gattling (Giamatti) has a boring life as an auto upholster. His hobby is training hawks. But most of his hawks die of starvation. When he finds another one, his goal is to not make it starve and get the respect of his family.





As usual, Giamatti puts in a great performance as George. You feel for his character instantly. You want him to succeed. Williams also does a good job as George's love interest. I can see why this movie was dumped onto DVD shelves. The movie has no commerical appeal. I think it's better that way. People can discover this movie easier.



"The Hawk Is Dying" is definitely worth-watching.
