Reviews


60
The Hollywood Reporter - Deborah Young
Bringing good old-fashioned Mediterranean emotion to a screenplay that feels oh so familiar, this modern-day weepie unapologetically plays to the crowd rather than the critics.
50
Screen International - Wendy Ide
Seyfried is impressive in the role, mercurial and fragile, but with a flinty coldness deep within.
40
Time Out London - Dave Calhoun
The list of co-stars – Jane Fonda, Octavia Spencer, Aaron Paul – is so impressive that it’s hard to know what attracted everyone to such a soapy, cloying script.
40
Empire - Ian Freer
It’s tastefully shot and Crowe commits to the horrors of Jake’s illness (his seizures are upsetting) but the writing lacks depth, the character psychology is dime-store Freud and the performances are variable.
40
Village Voice - Abbey Bender
While Fathers and Daughters has a strong cast (including a brief appearance by Jane Fonda), it largely saddles them with one-dimensional roles and too-obvious emotional cues.
