A strong movie about a father and daughter I decided to watch this movie for two reasons. One of them is the actor Russell Crowe, who I really like, and the second is the plot. It was the second factor that became decisive, because the film tells about a father who is trying to raise his daughter on his own, having lost his beloved wife in a car accident. As a young father, it was very interesting for me to see how Crowe's hero would be able to cope with this. And you know, every minute of the movie makes you wonder if you're good enough to fight for your family? It's hard to do without spoilers, but it's worth revealing the hitch of the whole story. The heroes of the narrative find themselves in a quarrel, which is so clearly demonstrated on the screen and so plausibly shown by the actors. The subsequent accident and Crow's hero's health problems directly affect his ability to live, exist, and, most importantly, raise and raise his daughter. And plunging into a masterfully presented situation on the screen, you suddenly begin to feel helpless. Well, imagine if something similar happens to you, what to do. No, he won't care about his life as a whole, but what about his daughter? She's just a kid. She needs to be brought up, given the best, only now it will be extremely difficult to do it yourself, having a once big name behind her, and now debts and lost health. And the relatives who arrived in time begin to "do good", of course with the best intentions (they can be understood), but in fact they destroy the family of the main characters. Russell's hero selflessly takes on the heavy burden of independent education. He does not complain, moves forward, rejects outside help. After all, he is a man, he has self-esteem. Russell Crowe perfectly conveys the hero to us from the screen, you can look at it. The hero's selfishness is easy to read, because he still has a high opinion of himself, no wonder he was given a prestigious award in the past. And these changes, when he is no longer the same as he was before, are hard for the hero to analyze. Awareness of the whole situation is difficult, and the actor skillfully conveys this inner struggle to the viewer. In parallel, they show his relationship with his daughter and closest relatives. They don't add up easily. The daughter is a well—mannered girl who tries in every way to help her father, but this often does not help, especially when the father's illness progresses, and the maintenance of the girl becomes impossible for a number of reasons. Each joint scene of Russell Crowe and Kylie Rogers is something warm and intimate. Their relationship is filled with sincere love and attempts to support each other in difficult situations. In parallel, we are shown the story of a grown-up daughter, played by Amanda Seifred. The heroine already has her own story and her own problems that appeared from childhood. Now the heroine herself is trying to study her problems from the point of view of psychology and help other children who find themselves in a similar situation. She grew up as kind and responsive as ever, but has her own problems that will definitely be revealed in the course of the story. All this action is perfectly intertwined, sending us into the future with flashforwards or into the past with flashbacks. Everyone will name the time lines as it will be convenient for him. It is important that there are two of them, and they are shown very neatly, without having any distortions, showing two stories on the screen. This work by Gabriele Muccino will appeal to those who love tearful melodramas. The film is full of heartwarming scenes. True, I am not a fan of this genre, but I repeat, this story was very hooked because of the dedication of the hero Russell Crowe, who to some extent taught me to fight for my child to the last, not to give up before difficulties, to be a support. 10 out of 10
