Father of My Children Ratings & Reviews
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
A tale of cinema, a story about the agonies of trying to work outside the cinematic mainstream (even in France!). Yet what makes the movie so affecting is that it(TM)s also a love story about a family.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
A subtle work on an exceedingly difficult subject.
Dallas Morning News
David Roark
While the movie is far from perfect, those potential missteps are, in the end, part of what makes The Father of My Children so beautiful.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
It is a film about children and their parents, and not knowing where fate, or life, can take you.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
The Father of My Children is exceptional drama. Compelling and unforced, it shows sensitivity and evenhandedness in approaching a difficult subject.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The film's second half is the most touching, because it shows that our lives are not merely our own, but also belong to the events we set in motion.
AV Club
Noel Murray
The Father Of My Children is largely about how life drifts by, and how we don't always leave the mark in the world that we'd hoped, so Hansen-Lve resists the urge to overdramatize or over-stress.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
There is much opportunity to turn the film into a soaper, but Hansen-Love resists.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Draws one in both empathetically and suspensefully.
IndieWire
Lisa Rosman
This is not an easy movie. It tackles big stuff- the biggest, really... But it breathes, nonetheless, and encourages us to do so too even in the wake of the grief it inspires us to recall in our lives.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
A modest drama about a suicide and its aftermath that never quite moves an audience as it should.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
You could argue that the film fails to revive the harassed intensities of its first hour, but I doubt whether they could have been sustained; and what we get instead, with its stunned and glassy air, yields a slow-breathing drama of its own.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Beautiful, profound and, given the gathering tensions of its story, phenomenally full of life.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
Father is a very intimate film, and writer-director Mia Hanson-Love has a Robert Altman-like gift for making us believe the relationships continue outside the bounds of the screen.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
What French writer-director Mia Hansen-Love has created is an extraordinarily empathetic humanistic drama, a film of love, joy, sadness and hope that understands how complex our emotions are and does beautiful justice to them.
Variety
Justin Chang
Marked by moments of remarkable stillness amid its emotional tumult, the film's classy, perceptive treatment of potentially maudlin material merits wider arthouse attention than it's likely to receive.
Village Voice
Ella Taylor
Hansen-Love(TM)s fevered mix of love and resentment toward this man lends urgency and eros to his professional and personal unraveling.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
A film that portrays a subject that could easily have become cloying with an austere, penetrating eye.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
This is a grim family drama that I can't quite put my finger on, and as well as it is made and acted I can't imagine I'll be watching it again anytime soon.
L.A. Weekly
Ella Taylor
The Father of My Children loses focus and sags into a how-we-got-through-it family procedural.
