I sat through the whole of this movie waiting for Ray Winstone to pummel the living shit out of the person responsible for the death of his daughter. He never did. Instead i just sat through the whole of this movie listening to him mumbling to himself.

Very personal low budget project, simple and really touching. 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.

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

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

Daily Telegraph (UK)

The general dead air and creepy ending make it hard to see who, beyond members of the Winstone/Howman clans, might be interested.

Peter Bradshaw

Guardian

It seems like a very personal project for both Winstone and Howman, filled with interesting but unfinished and undeveloped dramatic ideas.

Rated: 2/5

Time Out

As a study in grief, it's too distracting to make an impact.

Eye for Film

Limp and limping, even the short 76-minute runtime feels like a chore.

Rated: 1.5/5

Daily Express (UK)

Ray Winstone is a fine actor but even he cannot inject much life into the maudlin drama Fathers Of Girls.

Alex Zane

The Sun (UK)

Howman and his co-director/writer Ethem Cetintas are so concerned with keeping the plot mellow that they have robbed their story of any drama.
