Review of And When Did You Last See Your Father? (2007) by Micheline M — 27 Sep 2008
Truly fine performances from the four stars: Colin Firth, Jim Broadbent, Juliet Stevenson and Gina McKee. Although Juliet Stevenson is far too young to be Colin Firth's mother, her acting is fantastic, and Jim Broadbent is superb as well.
This is a different kind of role for Colin Firth: rather than the slightly bumbling romcom lead he keeps repeating in many of his films, he plays a thoughtful yet resentful man whose father is dying of cancer.
Matthew Beard, who plays Colin's character as a young man, is superb as well. This movie may not get the attention it deserves but see it if you can.
