Fathers and Daughters
(2015)
Directed by Gabriele
Muccino this film stars Russell Crowe, Amanda Seyfried, Kylie Rogers
and Aaron Paul. Over two time periods we see the relationship between
a girl/woman and her father who is an author struggling with mental
health problems.
Heavy handed and
formulaic this film only offers a surprise in that it is not an
adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks book. At various points there are
events that could have made for an interesting film but some how the
plot manages to avoid those. Even some of the performances were a bit
disappointing but Amanda Seyfried does do her best to carry the film.
2/5
