Review of In My Father's Den (2004) by Iryna K — 15 Dec 2009
Well, this movie made me register at RT... I just... I'm not good at writing reviews and English is not my native...
I can't say it was that moving - I don't know even a half a dozen movies that I'd consider moving. I'm not sure it's powerful - I mean it's not a WWII movie or anything. Just one family - and not an epic like, say, Legends of the Fall. It's an intimate motion picture but it gives you the full set of emotions - and, at the same time, it's so subtle. With no spoilers and no plot retelling (again!), I just want to say that George Carlin's "The planet is fine. The people are fucked" is so right and to the point.
This movie just makes you feel.
Oh, and... If you feel something about someone or want to say something to someone - do say it, right away. Life is awfully short.
I do recommend this film.
