Fatherhood is a 2021 English language drama film recently released on Netflix. It’s not only a film but an actual emotion as well. And Kevin also proved that he also can make us cry as well. Making us laugh from so many years with comedy movies and even stand up shows, this was his emotional side which made a lot of us cry and flooding with emotions.
The story of the film is quite simple yet it is inspiring for some, hope for some, a believe for some and for a few, they need to understand the emotion & trust. The story begins with a sudden dismissal of Kevin’s wife just after the birth of their daughter. It’s a hard time for the family and specially for Kevin and the new born. His mother in law ask him to shift to their nearby place so that while he work the family can take care of the new born baby.
We all know raising a kid single handedly is very difficult and so his family but Kevin take a hard decision to raise the little girl by himself.
It is a tough decision for everyone but sometimes these decisions define us, help us grow and to become strong. And rest if the movie shows the struggle of Kevin and also all other fathers in the world who are keep doing something or everything for their kids. What all he go through, how he struggle, how the family react and all the emotional stuff is there in the film. Also a bit if the frustration coming due to exertion.
A beautiful film showing the struggle of balance in life, let it be work or friends or personal life or family. And a small message to the ladies that please have some faith in men.
The film is great and a must watch. Although the story is predictable and simple. It’s just about the bond of a father and daughter.
It’s not a comedy movie and I don’t understand why people are commenting that it was not funny. Yes..may be because it’s not a comedy film. It’s a drama film and you all will be looking at the serious side of Kevin.
Rating: 7/10
Fathering is not something perfect men do, but something that perfacts the man.
