Watch In My Father's Den For Free

Beautiful, moving film.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

A cloudy sky. Perhaps this is one of those works that take your heart first slowly, then stops force to remove it quickly. If you're here to get drunk you are welcome. You could say that this film brings the fascination and temperance in its first minutes. The story is very well contained as a structural point, the simplicity of approach you and invite you to stroll through your eyes we are delighted to know that this artist thought of as leaving a pain that trains you. New Zealand has a new hero. The mystery leads us to the depths of our emotional supports, to delight and savor every moment without leaving a little. That's when you can not drop anything. And then it happens, knock on the door to say "the world exists and is full of pain". Amazing.

The Kiwis are better at fantasy than real life...After a promising start this rather enervating domestic drama settles for shrill melodramatics and stupid behaviour, based on silly coincidences, and culminates in an over-the-top showdown that strives for catharsis, but merely achieves hollow bathos, while the only agreeable character meets a grim farewell.Nice to look at and not without its moments, but much too long-winded and emotionally bloated.Watch Black Sheep instead.4 out of 10 brotherly feuds

One of the true gems of cinema and a must see for all fans of world cinema. Mathew McFadyen is absolutely terrific as "Paul", and displays a real talent and understanding of the character. Newcomer Emily Barclay is also brilliant, playing the naiive, but refreshing "Celia".It is one of those films that keeps you guessing all the way through, and will give a handful of twists at the end for you to revere and reminisce on as you look back on the fantastic 120 minutes we have just witnessed.There is some excellent directing on show from Brad McGann and shows off the beautiful New Zealand landscape, without covering it head to toe in Orcs. He plays with the narrative to create a compelling, engrossing story, that never looks tired weak or pretentious, and shows that thrillers don't all have to be hi-tech Clancy-like over ambitious renditions of the same tired clichés.Miranda Otto seems strangely misplaced in this film, and never seems totally in control of her character, but despite that this film is near flawless and shows a different side to film making, one that comes directly from true film lovers and not penned down by some Hollywood writing monkeys.A must see for all film lovers, whether or not you are appreciative of world cinema, a brilliant lesson to all aspiring filmmakers, that sometimes a great story is all you need.

I watched this movie 5 days ago and I still can't get it out my mind. I have recommended it to everyone I think would appreciate it. That being said, it is not for people who only appreciate Hollywood action blockbusters.It is a family drama about betrayals and secrets but nothing is over done or overly dramatized. The story isn't told in chronological order but that adds to the mystery and allows for really effective character development. I felt like I was reading a book, the way you got little pieces of insight into the characters in each scene. Because you had to work to understand the characters it felt like who they are and what happened to them really mattered. Do not fear however, everything makes sense by the end.The events develop slowly and believably in a small New Zealand town. The setting really contributes to the film's beauty and the photography is amazing. I believe it is done by the same man who did the photography for "once were warriors" "The Piano" and "Whale Rider". The soundtrack was also perfect, with a mix of haunting original scores and rock classics from the likes of Patti Smith.The acting was wonderful, not just from Matthew Macfadyen and Emily Barclay but also the supporting cast. The interactions between characters were truly genuine. I don't know what else to say except I really really loved this movie and hope that it will be made available in more places so that more people can see it. It stands out from everything that is popular in this day and age, all the sequels and remakes that are completely devoid of originality.
