The Father of My Children

France

Very well done film. Dad is a harried film producer with a loving wife and three daughters. We watch as the pressures from his company get heavier and heavier until he finally pops.

The heart of the story is how the family members cope with dad's loss.

The kids were terrific. I can't imagine how they get such naturalistic performances out of ten year olds. The cutting was quicker than I like but it did move the story right along. Beautiful use of locations. Good music choices.

A first rate film that I hope finds an audience.
