Reviews for Romulus, My Father
For all its sad moments, Romulus, My Father is a love story between father and son kept aloft by unalloyed admiration.
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.
The darkness of the story is counterbalanced by some of the most radiantly beautiful cinematography I've seen in a long time.
Helming bow by Oz thesp Richard Roxburgh predictably leaves actors plenty of room, but the literary tone and episodic structure rob the pic of dramatic momentum.
