Paul Schrader has finally hit a nerve with "Affliction", one of the most true-to-life films I have ever seen. It reaches out to those who've had rocky relationships with their fathers and offers them a helping hand.

Not one other person could've played the role of Wade Whitehouse as well as Nick Nolte does. He brings a harshness to this character that honestly cannot be defined by words.

This review of Affliction (1996) was written by on 29 Nov 2011.
