Academy Award®-winner Anthony Hopkins (Howard's End) gives a compelling performance in this intimate drama about an embittered divorced man who feels betrayed by the woman's movement he once supported. The Good Father is a gritty and devastating look at the emotional fallout of a shattered marriage and a powerful portrait of the decline of 1960s idealism in Margaret Thatcher’s London. This early gem by Mike Newell (Four Weddings and a Funeral) boasts superb performances by Academy Award®-winner Jim Broadbent (Iris) and Simon Callow (Room with a View). |
