A sensitive drama about cutting loose a cumbersome emotional ball and chain.

A cloying, on-the-nose family drama that fails to pack an emotional punch.

As the movie jounces along on florid pronouncements that overstate the obvious, "Fathers and Daughters" defies credibility and insults the intelligence.

The film's weird reformulation of the Electra complex is nothing short of a sexist fantasy of salvation.

Before excess suffocates the movie, there's a sharp sense of loss that carries significant power, almost able to buttress the entire effort.

Well-acted drama about emotional trauma has sex, drinking.

If it didn't so obviously want to be a Serious Adult Drama, leaned into its own melodrama with zest, it could have been pretty good.

It's extremely saccharine and obvious in its progression.

"Fathers and Daughters" juggles too many plotlines ...

Might as well have been titled "Daddy Issues: The Movie."

There are no car chases, super heroes or explosions in 'Fathers & Daughters.' Just lots of bravery, tenderness and tears.
