Ladyhawke is an enchanting tale of a beauty (Michelle Pfeiffer), a knight (Rutger Hauer) – and a pickpocket known as the Mouse (Matthew Broderick). Once the knight and the lady were lovers. Now the curse of an evil bishop (John Wood) keeps them "always together, eternally apart." By day she is a hawk, by night he is a wolf. To end the evil spell, the knight vows to break into the bishop's stronghold, with help from the Mouse. Directed by Richard Donner and photographed by three-time Academy Award®-winner Vittorio Storaro, Ladyhawke "is the most congenial spot for happy ever aftering since Camelot" (Rita Kempley, The Washington Post).

Critics Consensus: There's pacing problems, but Ladyhawke has an undeniable romantic sweep that's stronger than most fantasy epics of its ilk.

Frances Lynn

Richard Donner has made Ladyhawke an uncontroversial fairy tale for young children, as the film's blandness and stereotype performances...offers nothing interesting, let alone new.

A thoroughly delightful fantasy romance that holds up remarkably well and deserves to be rediscovered by today's younger audiences.

A competent fantasy with likeable heroes and dastardly villains, though the running time is slightly overlong.

Concerning the removal of a certain diabolical curse which keeps two lovers always together, yet always apart, Ladyhawke is a successful, unpretentious little film that uses strong characterization rather than special effects to achieve its goals.

The film is gorgeous to watch, especially since the quality of light is so central to the plot: Is it afternoon or sunset?
