Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

eagleeyedcritic **Spoiler warning** I give this movie a big thumbs down. It was painfully slow and boring. I saw nothing endearing in watching a man go through his negative memories of his father just because his father is dying. There were no qualities demonstrated in the father to make me care anything for him.It's not like they go through the memories together. It's not as though there's ANY resolution. It's not as though they healed their relationship at the end. No questions were answered. And I didn't even care to learn of any answers as the entire movie was uneventful and so slow. The gross scenes of sponge baths and changing sheets and cutting out a pacemaker from a dead body did zero for me - and I don't even fear death so that has nothing to do with it. It was the most hollow movie.I love Colin Firth and his ability as an actor which I did see rare glimpses of closer to the end but this was the worst movie I've ever seen him in and was a huge disappointment and waste of time. I can't believe the reviews I've read and that this movie almost got a 7! :-o Come on! I feel my time could have been better spent watching paint dry.

Claudio Carvalho The writer Blake Morrison (Colin Firth) has a non-resolved relationship with his bragger and wolf father Arthur Morrison (Jim Broadbent). However, when he is diagnosed with a terminal intestine cancer, Blake leaves his wife and children and travel to the village where he spent his childhood and adolescence to help his mother and his sister to take care of Arthur along his last days. The location brings recollections of his problematic relationship with his father."And When Did You Last See Your Father?" is a sensitive movie about father and son problematic relationship. Through the recollections of Blake, the viewer understand the many unresolved situations that made him indifferent (or even hating) his flawed father that loved him indeed. In the end, it dawns on him that his father is gone and he will never see him again; and he grieves and regrets the lost moments he had along his life to stay with him. And you, when did you last see your father? My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Quando Você Viu Seu Pai Pela Última Vez?" ("When Did You Last See Your Father?")

Seamus2829 After seeing 'When Did You Last See Your Father?', I was reminded that I was relieved that when I lost my Father a scant four years ago, we parted on very good terms. This is a powder keg of a film that manages to spill many tears & hidden truths about a father & son. The story, taken from the true accounts by writer Blake Morrison,is about the love/hate, love/love, hate/hate relationship Morrison shared with his own father, played to perfection by Jim Broadbent (of many a Mike Leigh film). Besides the well written/adapted screenplay,top notch direction & superb acting by the entire cast, I really admired the photography, utilizing light & dark & positioning as a framing device. The films's editing is a sight to behold, too (the way the action cuts back & forth in time over a period of 30 plus years). Hopefully, when Oscar time rolls around next year, 'When Did You Last See Your Father' will be a prime contender for at least a couple of awards.

dedoc1 At its simplest this movie is about the love between two men - a father and son - that in spite of a deep desire to connect, cannot be shared between the two. At least not in life. And not until it is too late. Sadly, it is a story that is all too prevalent in our society.The film reflects this theme again and again with flashbacks of the son's experiences growing up with the father. Of course this is the son's world view and the film does not cover the father's perspective of events. So the question remains unanswered - was there truly no point of contact for the love between the two, or was the son blind to, or incapable of, receiving the love of the father?Well worth the investment of 92 minutes of your time.
