Date Night Picks

Grief, wildness, and the stubborn beauty of being alive — H Is for Hawk is the kind of film that sneaks up on you and stays. Helen's bond with her hawk Mabel is tender, strange, and deeply affecting; by the end you will both feel quietly transformed. Showing at two venues this week, it is worth rearranging your schedule for.

Sofia Coppola's masterpiece captures that rare feeling of finding someone who truly sees you — set against the neon haze of Tokyo, it is dreamlike, aching, and utterly beautiful. Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson have chemistry almost impossible to describe; it lingers long after the credits roll. Screenings are very limited this week — just one venue, last chances to catch it — so check times before you plan your evening.
