An outstanding cast gives emotional richness to the father/son memoir When Did You Last See Your Father?. Writer Blake Morrison (Colin Firth), faced with the impending death of his father Arthur (Jim Broadbent, Iris, Topsy-Turvy), reflects back on how the clash of personalities has led them to near alienation. Blake can't forgive his father for small embarrassments and large betrayals--but he also can't let go of the need to understand his father's combination of broad but generous humor and petty egotism. Everyone else in Arthur's life seemed to love him; why can't Blake? The story of When Did You Last See Your Father? is familiar stuff (how often do we need to learn that boisterous fathers and sensitive sons can't communicate?), but Firth, Broadbent, and Juliet Stevenson (Truly Madly Deeply), as Blake's mother, fill in the broad outlines with warmth and nuance. Particular credit goes to newcomer Matthew Beard as Blake's teenage self; Beard vividly captures the vulnerability, yearning, and self-absorption of adolescence. --Bret Fetzer
