In My Father\'s Den shows us an intimate, close-knit community, with a simmering discontent lurking underneath. Emily Barclay gives an engaging, unpredictable performance as Celia, and Matthew MacFadyen delivers a strong performance in the lead role. The images of the Central Otago landscape, by cinematographer, Stuart Dyburgh, are striking too. There are problems with the structure of the film - which seems overly complicated and it takes a long time to reach its finale, but it\'s an impressive first feature from Brad McGann.
