When Did You Last See Your Father? is a poignant (but ultimately forgettable) account of the rocky lifelong relationship between a father and son. The acting is solid and the story is sound, but director Anand Tucker focuses too much on the less interesting elements of the father-son relationship and never delves deeply enough into the fascinating ones. Tucker orchestrates a symphonic tugging of heart strings that is incredibly effective, but so pitch-perfect it has the unintended side effect of making the film feel contrived.

Grade: C

When Did You Last See Your Father? is rated PG-13 and currently in limited release.
