Asher has been waiting years to get revenge on the man who killed his brother. It won’t be an easy task, though, because this man is a force of nature. This man is as relentless as he is ruthless. This man is Asher’s father, and you can watch him pursue his son in a rage-filled road chase in our exclusive clip from My Father Die.
Synopsis: “Deaf and mute since having his hearing knocked out at the age of 12, Asher (Anderson) has been training for almost two decades to avenge himself on Ivan (Stretch), the man that killed his older brother, 21 years ago. And now that his nemesis is out of prison, he may get his chance. But Asher’s target also happens to be his father.”

Southern Gothic tales don’t get any swampier than Sean Brosnan’s debut feature about a deaf-mute young man intent on exacting violent revenge on his abusive father. Visually stunning but strained by pretentious poeticism and a simplistic storyline, My Father Die is ultimately as labored as its ungrammatical title.
The black & white prologue sets up the story, depicting the loving bond between teenage Chester and his younger brother Asher. Chester decides to initiate his sibling into the joys of copulation by introducing him to Nana, a willing young neighbor. But before the deed can be consummated their father Ivan (Gary...

My Father Die is an angry little debut for Sean Brosnan, and thankfully for papa Pierce Brosnan, not with biographical intent. It’s true that Brosnan keeps revenge in the family, but only by way of fictional bayou country folks. Pierce is safe from Sean’s bullet-ridden bite of familial revenge, unlike some characters who find themselves caught between not-so-friendly fire and the struggles of living up to (or denouncing) parental pedestals. It’s pulpy, fur-wearing, country fried fury, following a darker path that’s guided by stellar direction from the man with the golden camera. It’s not perfect, but stylish and provocative enough to erase any notion that “first-timer” is synonymous with “amateur.”
Joe Anderson stars as present-day Asher, who we first meet as a young boy (played by Gabe White). Currently, he’s a deaf adult who takes care of his mother, but in the opening flashback,...

As indie buyers determine the fate of this year’s Sundance entries, the specialty market continues to swing dramatically between awards players and soft newbies. New limited releases remain flat.
Showing particular strength is Sundance attendee Harvey Weinstein’s designated Oscar contender “Lion,” which saw a tiny drop as it slowly heads toward wider release. It could get a sizable Oscar boost over the next few weeks. Next week after nominations expect wider breaks for some pictures that have played in theaters for while.
Opening
The Red Turtle (Sony Pictures Classics) – Metacritic: 89; Festivals include: Cannes, Toronto 2016
$21,811 in 3 theaters; PTA (per theater average): $7,270; Cumulative: $39,435
This Belgian animated Cannes breakout (a rare European production from Japan’s Studio Ghibli) opened with high-end reviews in its official initial release in New York and Los Angeles (after an earlier Oscar-qualifying one-week run). The grosses didn’t rise to the level its earlier acclaim promised.
