Rather less than the sum of its underventilated père-fils confrontations.

Top CriticViewing this underdramatized but overstated film is like watching a transcript of a therapy session brought to humdrum life by some Freudian puppet.

How I Killed My Father is one of those art house films that makes you feel like you're watching an iceberg melt -- only it never melts.

Rarely, indeed almost never, is such high-wattage brainpower coupled with pitch-perfect acting and an exquisite, unfakable sense of cinema.

Top CriticDemonstrates why nowadays the best thing you can say about an American movie is that it plays like a French film.
08/22/02
Top CriticFontaine masterfully creates a portrait of two strong men in conflict, inextricably entwined through family history, each seeing himself in the other, neither liking what he sees.
09/12/02
Fontaine indulges her signature style, creating a carefully measured film -- the kind whose impact slowly sneaks up on its audience and haunts them long after leaving the theatre.
07/02/02
Brings a rare, clinically specific sense of moral complexity and humanistic sympathy to the usual regimen of finger-pointing and exposure.

Sad, yet interesting.
12/27/02
Exquisitely nuanced in mood tics and dialogue, this chamber drama is superbly acted by the deeply appealing veteran Bouquet and the chilling but quite human Berling.
10/11/02
Whether writer-director Anne Fontaine's film is a ghost story, an account of a nervous breakdown, a trip down memory lane, all three or none of the above, it is as seductive as it is haunting.
03/20/03
Vet French actor Michel Bouquet renders such an astounding performance that he elevates Anne Fontaine's family melodrama way above its Freudian foundations and male menopause.
