Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) 11/19/2010
1/5
The general dead air and creepy ending make it hard to see who, beyond members of the Winstone/Howman clans, might be interested. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 11/18/2010
2/5
It seems like a very personal project for both Winstone and Howman, filled with interesting but unfinished and undeveloped dramatic ideas. Go to Full Review Dave Calhoun Time Out 11/17/2010
2/5
As a study in grief, it's too distracting to make an impact. Go to Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film 11/20/2010
1.5/5
Limp and limping, even the short 76-minute runtime feels like a chore. Go to Full Review Daily Express (UK) 11/19/2010
Ray Winstone is a fine actor but even he cannot inject much life into the maudlin drama Fathers Of Girls. Go to Full Review Alex Zane The Sun (UK) 11/18/2010

Seems to develop a few strands that don't actually go anywhere but the main message is made clear with the help of an ending that's both creepy and perfectly poignant. See more 11/17/2010 A man tries to piece together the final days of his daughters life to try and find out why she ended a victim of a drug overdose. Redifining boredom, this film crawls along at a snails pace with Ray Winstone sleepwalking through the role showing little or no emotion and adding a mind numbing voice over See more Read all reviews
