Leave your thoughts about Gideon's Daughter.
| Common Sense MediaCharles CassadyWell-acted, witty dad-daughter BBC drama. |
| User ReviewMichaela DAn absolutely amazing drama. Perfect performances from all creating an incredibly memorial drama. Outstandingly effective in the portrayal of these fictional lives, to the extent that the character's come to life and are able to change your opinion on particular topics, such as dealing with grief, one of the main themes of this drama. There is no possible way I can fault this, it is incredibly powerful and moving. |
| User ReviewKristina CI now want to watch Friends & Crocodiles. |
| User ReviewTrystan DMy favourite TV drama, Poliakoff proves that he can make effective drama out of real events (in this case, the death of Diana). Nighy is brilliant as Gideon, drawing a fine line beetween ignorance (Gideon's) and comedy. Richardson proves she can act, stepping out of the Blackadder mainstream to create a much more memorable and sympathetic character. But it is Robert Lindsay's return as William Sneath that is most memorable, as an effective story teller Lindsay keeps the fine balance of comedy within the tragedy of the drama. But the best aspect of the film, better even than Lindsay, is Gideon's heartfelt journey to make amends with his daughter. |
| User ReviewEmma NAmazing how the imagination can actually capture what's really going on in the world as though Poliakoff has been there before, this isn't a fantasy. Real life experience for many who can relate to. |
| User ReviewJim HI came for Bill Nighy; I stayed for Emily Blunt. About fifteen minutes into the film, Blunt's character sings a song, "Papa," that captivates everyone - the audience on screen, including her father, and the film's audience (and if anyone in the internet ether can get me an MP3 of this song, I'd be grateful). The song is stunningly beautiful in its melody, lyrics, and mysteriousness. Even at the end of the film, we're not entirely sure what she meant or even if she meant anything at all, but the memory of that performance propels the film along. It is the story of a British PR man who has lost interest in his work and lost the ability to connect with his daughter, the only person with whom he desires any relationship. The film is essentially a character study, but it rises above a mere presentation of people to an area of profundity that can only be compared to An Accidental Tourist. It becomes about parents and children, the pain of letting go after life and death advance and the stark, unfortunate realization that children will never love their parents as much as parents love their children. With strong, understated performances by Nighy and Miranda Richardson, Gideon's Daughter is a gem not to be missed. |
