Critic Reviews for Padre Padrone
All Critics (7) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (1) | DVD (1)
Padre Padrone seems a botched opportunity at a great emotional experience, a potential but unrealized classic.
There are some strikingly beautiful images, all in context, as we touch themes of father-son conflict and coming of age drama
a film of careful balances, setting raw nature against refined culture, and offering family drama that grips from start to finish without once resorting to sentimentality.
One of the most intense and powerful childhood tales, based on Gavino Ledda's memoirs of growing up in Sardinia illiterate and brutalized by his father and how he became a famous writer and master of Greek and Latin.
