Synopsis

'Fathers and Daughters' is starring actors such as Russell Crowe ('Gladiator'), Amanda Seyfried ('Dear John'), Aaron Paul ('Breaking Bad') and Diane Kruger ('Unknown'). Jake Davis (Russell Crowe) is a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer who is forced to stand up to a tragic situation that leaves him lost without knowing what to do, something that drives him to focus on his stories without taking care of anything else. Thus, the life of the novelist give an unexpected turn when his wife dies in a car accident. Without his wife, Jake has to get used to being a widow as she takes care of his five years old daughter. This new reality surpasses the Pulitzer winner that although he tries, fails to take care of Katie (Amanda Seyfried) as it should due to illness. The film tells Katie's childhood with his father and how 20 years later she have to deal with the problems associated with her childhood while meeting Cameron (Aaron Paul).

What the critics say average 3.5 from 4 outlets

  • 5.0 The Hollywood ReporterDeborah Young "Bringing a Mediterranean old school activity to a too topical script, this modern unscrupulous melodrama appeals to the general public, rather than criticism." Read
  • 4.0 VarietyGuy Lodge This heavily stuffed roulade of creative, familial and romantic conflicts might well have been better conceived as a primetime network series in the uncool-but-compulsive ?Brothers and Sisters? vein. Read
  • 3.0 EmpireIan Freer It?s tastefully shot and Crowe commits to the horrors of Jake?s illness but the writing lacks depth, the character psychology is dime-store Freud. Read
