(09/01/1998, p.8, Kathleen Murphy): "...At the beating heart of THIS IS MY FATHER is Aidan Quinn's centered, powerfully internalized performance..." |
| More Information |
| Details: |
Caan portrays a disillusioned Chicago high-school teacher who decides to make a pilgrimage to Ireland to learn the truth about his father, whom he never met. He takes along his troubled nephew, who spends his days falling in love with a local school girl. The film shifts between the present and the past, as we learn the story of what happened to Caan's father. A Quinn Brothers trifecta (Paul wrote and directed, Aidan acted, and Declan photographed), this is a personal - though not autobiographical - tale that rises above Clicheland due to the subtle, heartwarming performances. |
