Ladyhawke is quite different from The Lord of the Ringsand really most typical fantasy that makes it to the big screen. It’s set in France during the Middle Ages for one thing. No invented world at all. This is a world ruled by the Roman Catholic Church and various monarchs. The story is fictional, but the setting is not. Because of this, much of w...

At its heart, Ladyhawkeis a love story. Something rarely emphasized in fantasy because usually fantasy stories gain their force from the epic sweep of their world-saving q...

A thoughtful tale, dark yet innocent,...
Parents need to know that Ladyhawke is a dopey 1985 romantic fantasy that will probably bore most kids and sorely try the patience of most grown-ups. Expect the slashing and impaling common to cinematic portrayals of medieval violence. Blood drips from a victim's mouth but is otherwise scarce.
