1. • • Benediction isn’t a cradle-to-grave biopic, nor does it dramatise a single, pivotal event. It’s one man’s breathless search, careening back and forth through the chapters of his life in search of something concrete and true. It’s beautiful, but only in the way it tends to its tragedies with such care.

   What makes benediction a good movie?

   • “Benediction” bears the distinctive stamp of its writer/director, Terence Davies, a man whose films feel more like poetic meditations on moods, emotions, and events than straightforward narratives. It’s as if we are floating above the material, touching down in different places at the filmmaker’s discretion.

   What is a benediction based on?

   • This is one of Davies’ best films, as equally detached as his earlier work yet brimming with emotions that are a little closer to the surface than we expect from him. It’s interesting that he named this film “Benediction.” Webster’s describes a benediction as a Catholic sacrament, but also as the last prayer of a religious service.

   Is benediction a missed opportunity?

   • For a film-maker as wonderful as Davies, Benediction is a missed opportunity. There is no happy-go-lucky ending here, only the sense that an ineffable longing we have, to know and be known, is so precious and rare that most of us never find its fulfillment here on Earth.

   When did benediction start and end?

   • Sassoon lived from 1886 to 1967, and was already a writer of note by the time that the First World War began. The story in “Benediction” begins in 1914 and ends in the nineteen-sixties, and its framework is chronological, though the movie is filled with audacious leaps in time, both ahead and back.

   Is benediction a melodrama?

   • In “Benediction,” Davies turns Sassoon’s life into a self-conscious Hollywood melodrama, a grand historical tale that makes its very historicity its subject—and a story of memory that reflects history in an original form. Befitting a movie about a great writer, “Benediction” is a film of copious and brilliant dialogue.
