Father's Daze

This is a very well made independent film that I recommend highly. A very sad footnote to the film is that a year after the premiere, one of the actors, Simon Hawkins, who plays Liam, died aged 31. He was a fine actor who should have been destined for a great acting career but tragically it was not to be.

When you haven't got sacks of money to produce a movie based on true events, you need a different approach to get the story across. In this, the producers got it right. From the opening scene, one immediately gets captivated in this important tale and the struggles that follow.

Although the acting is not always right and the story a bit too long, the drama and predicament of a single parent is well told and easy to follow, even with your eyes closed.

A movie that makes you ponder that laws are not always right and the wrong has to be overcome.

A very touching and beautifully made film. Some superb performances from currently unknown actors.
