Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: B --
The picture has a tranquil, gentle nature about it that's almost soothing, while offering examples of familial terror Roxburgh processes superbly...there's much to admire.

For all its sad moments, Romulus, My Father is a love story between father and son kept aloft by unalloyed admiration.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
Gaita clearly had a rough childhood, but while the tragedies of his young life pile up on screen the drama remains frustratingly inert.

It's fitting perhaps that a film based on Rai Gaita's memoirs should play rather like a string of memories; we don't remember the past in a linear story but as patches, chapters, moments, sometimes merely fractions of their entirety.

ROMULUS, MY FATHER is the poignant, occasionally harrowing -- though high-spirited and seemingly incandescent -- story of a young boy growing up in the Australian bush not long after the end of World War II.
Los Angeles Times
The darkness of the story is counterbalanced by some of the most radiantly beautiful cinematography I've seen in a long time.

It's not clear what we're supposed to take away from the film.

Product Description:
Actor Richard Roxburgh makes a smooth transition to directing with this moving drama adapted from Raimond Gaita's memoir. Eric Bana (MUNICH) stars as Romulus, a Yugoslavian man who struggles to raise his young son alone in Victoria, Australia. After the family moves from Europe, his wife's depression takes over and she leaves her husband and son alone to fend for themselves in the foreign country. Franka Potente (THE BOURNE IDENTITY) plays the absent mother, while Marton Csokas and Russell Dykstra costar.
