I'm not too sure why people are putting this movie down because this movie is nothing but great. I am a person who doesn't really get interested in movies too much to the point where I sit still And can't move, but this movie the good father was excellent. Not only did it show a daughters internal love for her mom to speak for the dead but she also never gave up and it showed a sister's love thats so unbelievable to her others sisters that she put her life on hold to get make sure she got her sisters all together and took them away from the father who should not even have them based on his actions . It was a very realistic movie and I thought it was great. I have a celebrity daughter that lives in Los Angeles and she agrees that this movie is phenomenon and the daughter that played tje major role in this this movie did a phenomenal job in acting . The movie was very well written and produced . It touched me in many ways . I even cried .
