Reviews for In My Father's Den
Powerfully involving, even if it's also rather heavy-going and sneaky.
The tale of a prodigal son, misunderstanding and tragedy, this Den is well worth exploring.
A cleverly structured, smartly written film that holds your attention to the end and delivers a powerful emotional kick
Both compulsive and entertaining, striking a perfect balance between drama and thriller and serving up a story that's instantly worth following.
