Might as well have been titled "Daddy Issues: The Movie."

| Jul 8, 2016

If it didn't so obviously want to be a Serious Adult Drama, leaned into its own melodrama with zest, it could have been pretty good.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 8, 2016

As the movie jounces along on florid pronouncements that overstate the obvious, "Fathers and Daughters" defies credibility and insults the intelligence.

| Jul 7, 2016

"Fathers and Daughters" juggles too many plotlines ...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 7, 2016

A cloying, on-the-nose family drama that fails to pack an emotional punch.

| Original Score: C | Jul 7, 2016

Fathers And Daughters attacks the base urge for sentimental gratification as though it were on a suicide mission.

| Original Score: C | Jul 7, 2016

The word for Fathers and Daughters is anguish-for everyone on the screen and in the audience, too.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 6, 2016

Fathers and Daughters would be a far more intriguing film if it painted Katie as something more than a quick psychological study and didn't rely on sexist platitudes.

| Jul 6, 2016

The film's weird reformulation of the Electra complex is nothing short of a sexist fantasy of salvation.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 5, 2016

No matter, as big, gloopy melodramas go, this is a perfectly good time-passer with lashings of actors and acting.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 23, 2016

Crowe, Rogers and Wallis somehow maintain their dignity throughout this piffle. The same can't be said for Seyfried.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 16, 2015

"I don't do a movie unless I'm physically affected by the script," says Crowe. Does wanting to throw up count?

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 15, 2015

It is lines such as "Men can survive without love but not us women" that make this film such a stinker.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 13, 2015

Fathers and Daughters is a sentimental pile of tosh

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 12, 2015

Muddled, overwrought ...

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 12, 2015

Russell Crowe "fell apart" when reading it, the story goes. He's not holding it together on screen too well, either.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 12, 2015

Russell Crowe as a troubled Pulitzer Prize-winning author is just one of a long list of unconvincing things about this corny, old-fashioned drama.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 10, 2015

Russell Crowe heads a starry, largely overqualified cast in Gabriele Muccino's treacly, time-hopping family soap opera.

| Oct 29, 2015

The starry cast convinces amid much melodrama.
