Fathers and Daughters zeichnet keine typische Vater-Tochter-Beziehung nach: Nach dem Tod seiner Frau muss der berühmte Schriftsteller Jake Davis, der einst den Pulitzer-Preis gewann und nun einen Nervenzusammenbruch hatte, in den 1990ern wieder ins Leben zurückfinden. Er muss sich für seine fünfjährige Tochter Katie kümmern, während er gegen seine eigene Geisteskrankheit ankämpft. Jakes Geschichte wechselt sich mit der seiner erwachsenen Tochter ab, die 25 Jahre später im Manhattan der Gegenwart lebt. Nach ihrer schweren Kindheit hat sie nie richtig in ihr eigenes Leben hineingefunden. Die New Yorkerin leidet unter Bindungsproblemen und weiß nicht, wie sie reagieren soll, als der charmante Cameron versucht, ihre Gunst zu gewinnen. (Spoton Distribution)

Englisch A tearful Hallmark-type melodrama where only excellent cast and the fact that the movie is not forced to much make the movie bearable. Which, of course, doesn't mean that emotions are not in the spotlight, because they are, and a lot. However, even if being completely cynical I cannot say that I don´t care. Simply because I cared.

Englisch I needed to cut my toenails really badly and this whiny garbage came like a sign. It's not a total insult, but I couldn't figure out what it was about. For real. Despite that, though, many of the individual elements were quite inspiring. For example, who ever told Aaron Paul that he could act? Why does twenty-five years older Diane Kruger actually look twenty-five years younger? Where did Amanda Seyfried get Homer's makeup shotgun? Why is Shane Hurtbutt's camera exhibiting in this spectacularly down-to-earth picture? Questions, so many questions... ()

Englisch This film got me. It was partly because Russell Crowe was in the main role, who also played a writer, but simply because the story managed to reach me. I didn't like the romance and its ending that much, but the film managed to evoke emotions in me and I didn't feel like I was being manipulated. So, for me, it was very well done. ()

Englisch A strangely narrated movie that focuses on two timelines of one atypical father-and-daughter relationship. One timeline is mostly about Russell Crowe as the dad, the other one is mostly based in the present and around his daughter portrayed by Amanda Seyfried. I must say that I like Russell’s story better, even though Amanda’s was nice to watch. Despite the fact that the entire story of this family relationship is getting closer and closer to an epic unravelling just as the viewer expects from the very beginning, it didn’t manage to captivate me enough for me to enjoy it to the fullest. I just didn’t get their relationship. The dad was going to extremes as well as the daughter. I couldn’t relate to it and the only thing I got from it was the joy of seeing Russell and Amanda in a movie again. ()
