I Never Sang for My Father
“A motion picture the whole world has taken to its heart.”
Drama
A man living in the towering shadow of his aging father finds it difficult to start a new chapter in his life by marrying his girlfriend and moving to California.
VIBE
A deeply affecting, quiet drama about the suffocating weight of familial obligation and the painful struggle for independence. It feels like a long, drawn-out sigh of regret, heavy with unspoken words and lingering resentments.
