If You Only Knew My Father is an introspective documentary that really digs deep into the complex relationships between fathers and their children. The filmmaker’s journey across the country, asking strangers about their experiences with paternal abuse, creates this raw atmosphere that’s both haunting and revealing. There’s a vulnerability in the subjects that feels genuine, and it’s fascinating how their stories mirror the filmmaker’s own hidden wounds. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the weight of each revelation to settle. It’s not just about others’ pain; it’s a catalyst for self-reflection. The combination of personal narratives and broader themes of trauma is striking. It stays with you, making you ponder long after it ends.
