Sins of the father

When Did You Last See Your Father?

Crit

Yes, it's true: I chose the Colin Firth film rather than the one starring My Future Wife Julianne Moore--what's your point, exactly?

Savage Grace, I gather, would also have satisfied my yen for my-father-or-mother-or-both-were-merely-frailly-human-not-perfect-like-the-parents-I-saw-on-TV porn, but this one did it with at least a modicum of subtlety, and with two of the best actors around as the Firth character's parents, Jim Broadbent and Juliet Stevenson (who is not quite four years older than Firth, incidentally). A Good Enough Film, but one of the sort that makes me think maybe I see too many movies, 'cause haven't I seen this one before?
