7/10
Father figure
5 August 2017
Jake, a notable novelist, stays at a hospital to heal a mental breakdown due to his wife dying of a car crash by his driving. This leads him to live separately with his beloved little daughter, Katy, for 7 months. After getting older, traumatized Katy is in a trouble with loving people. Then, she meets up a man who admires Jake's novel, Cameron…

This film is confusing at first because the story goes on back and force. Yet, this is like a riddle and a key to ambiguous scenes by degrees. At the same time, the film is beyond words and it is literally hard to hold back tears. In particular, Jake's struggling of both taking care of Katy and writing a novel simultaneously is described. This makes me think better of what my father has done to me in a daily life positively.

I was wondering why the title "Fathers and Daughters" is plural. If this story is just related to Jake and Katy, this should be singular title "Father and Daughter". In my opinion, this story conveys a message to us to value family bond more and more in general.

In addition, seemingly the film is about father and daughter story, but Katy's love story is included. Keep an eye on the film!
