The picture has a tranquil, gentle nature about it that's almost soothing, while offering examples of familial terror Roxburgh processes superbly...there's much to admire.

For all its sad moments, Romulus, My Father is a love story between father and son kept aloft by unalloyed admiration.

Top CriticGaita clearly had a rough childhood, but while the tragedies of his young life pile up on screen the drama remains frustratingly inert.
02/29/08
For all that it's well made and expertly acted, the film keeps its audience at arm's length, letting viewers observe without offering an emotional portal of entrance.

It's not clear what we're supposed to take away from the film.

Romulus, My Father is a stacked deck determined to make you feel bad, but it rarely makes you feel anything else.

It's fitting perhaps that a film based on Rai Gaita's memoirs should play rather like a string of memories; we don't remember the past in a linear story but as patches, chapters, moments, sometimes merely fractions of their entirety.
