Joy to watch - Father of My Children review by TB
The 'Father of My Children' is a pure joy to watch. Unfortunately the films synopsis does not do the film justice. It 'could' be interpreted that this is a dark sombre French film but although the story is based on true events, where a man commits suicide supposedly due to the pressures of his business, it is far from sombre due to the script and direction by Mia Hansen-Love which features five wonderful actors - including two young girls who play the daughters who had not previously acted - who all play their roles so naturally in coping with the loss of their father/husband that it makes the film feel warm and positive. Enjoy it!!
