Strong performances and stunning visuals aren't enough to compensate for the strained Southern Gothic artificiality.

My Father Die may boast a bizarrely graceless title, but that's the least of this revenge saga's shortcomings, which number in the dozens and conspire to make it an early contender for worst of 2017.

New York Times

"My Father Die" is a trashy jewel. As with the Rubens painting of Saturn devouring one of his sons that punctuates certain scenes, you kind of can't stop looking at it.

Cinema Crazed

My Father Die is one of those films that is fascinating to watch with a story that runs deep and characters that are miserable yet trying to reach for goals that may be unattainable or illogical.

Rated: 4/5

Unfortunately, there's not much of a story here outside of the ill-advised revenge plot we've seen a million times over.

Rated: 4/10

It's a visionary work that bespeaks a rare talent,and a token, one hopes, of exciting things to come.

Apart from the silliness here are so many elements that are unbelievable that make this a not very good movie.

Very different, beautifully shot. Struggled with the tone to be honest... One minute very dark, serious and thoughtful, the next comic book like and ridiculous... But still, very compelling.

This had all the foundations for an excellent revenge flick. The act in question was a textbook call for vigilante justice and it is set in a seedy Hillbilly wonderland. Sadly. It didn't take advantage of all the joys that come with Redneck life and apart from a gimp slapping the stomach off himself while slashing his chest it just wasn't sleazy enough. The villain thinks he's a T-800 and although it has some good stuff going and is stylish, it is just a bland story that plays out with echoes of Blue Ruin and The Great Silence.

Though a bit rough around the edges, with very good performances alongside mediocre ones, My Father Die is a good film. Visually arresting at times, with exceptional narration by the protagonist as a child, this film manages the difficult trick of mixing the lyrical with the violent without coming across as ludicrous. I recommend it to anyone who appreciates cinema and loves genre movies.
