Dear Dad Reviews

There are a few moments between father and son which feel as if something real is going on – resentment and anger have a way of boiling up to the surface in strange ways between parents and children.

Though elegant composed and filled with warm possibilities, Dear Dad stays awfully impersonal communicating only from a distance to tread a tediously linear path.

Though this is a film about painful revelations Dear Dad is not a sad film. It doesn't celebrate human frailty. But it tells us it's okay to be what we are, who we are and never mind why we are what we are.

In short, here is a drag of a film, called a bittersweet drama, which is, really speaking, much ado about — almost — nothing.

This could have been a better film dealing with a real issue, but sadly, the script and direction did not seem confident enough to deal with it.

While this could’ve been a breezy indie mood film that travels to a few festivals, it may face a serious challenge as a commercial release in India.

Director Tanuj Bhramar could have explored gay relationships deeper. But in this film, he is almost content to let it all rest with a son's acceptance -- if willy-nilly -- of his father's sexuality.

Dear Dad misses out on becoming a gem because of its treatment.

Dear Dad deserves a watch simply for the profound point it makes about accepting people for who they are and loving them unconditionally.

Dear Dad touches upon a brave and important subject of acceptance, love and compassion, we wish the film was able to have a wider reach with a better storyline.
