(A) dreary pot-boiler.
Too meandering to stir the brain and too dour to engage the heart, the moving storyline too often falls flat in stodgy scenes.
Filled with interesting but unfinished and undeveloped dramatic ideas.
Even with a short running time, Fathers Of Girls is a bit of an ordeal.
The general dead air and creepy ending make it hard to see who, beyond members of the Winstone/Howman clans, might be interested.
Fails as either a psychological study of grief or as a thriller.
General release. Check local listings for show times.
