Fantastic performances by Broadbent and Firth make a potentially mushy film palatable.

I really enjoyed, appreciated even, this film, as a way of showing the life of a father via his sons memories, shortly before he dies. It felt quite poignant and not unnecessarily sentimental in an over the top or excessively forced way either, which is always a good thing. I felt that Jim Broadbent gave a particularly good performance as the somewhat no nonsense and yet also clearly proud father to his somewhat quiet and laidback son. It came across as quite a realistic film I felt, from what little I know of the time its set (the 1960s primarily). I thought the characterisation was good and it's quite a warm and enjoyable film, although it may make you sad if you've, of course, lost a parent recently but I like that it didn't seem to be, as I say, actively wallowing in sentimentality or anything.. don't get me wrong, it IS sentimental but not overly, in a way that ruined it for me, not at all. There are amusing moments and more serious, thought provoking moments too. I felt it got the balance right somehow. I also liked the relatively bright colours shown with bright Christmas decorations and clothes standing out, among other things. I believe the film is based on a memoir and that makes it even better in my humble opinion. Ignoring the slightly cliched music played to bring out certain emotions in certain scenes, I would certainly recommend it, yes. It may not be to everyone's taste but I thought it was a very good film.

Firth is losing his father and remembering through

Firth is losing his father and remembering through all the times (hard, crazy and maddening) that he had with him. As he deals with loss and searches for affirmation from his dad, his trip through the memories eventually grounds him.
