   Mar 8, 2022 · Running alongside the film's more elegiac sweep is a cut-glass wit that marks many of these encounters and an uneasy melancholy generated by Sassoon's inability to fully reconcile his own feelings that culminates in his turning from the warm and witty Lowden to the barren-spirited Capaldi.

   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.

   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 crowbarring open of the soul?

   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.

   What does benediction feel like?

   • The result is breathtakingly vast and flawed, moving in all senses of the word. For a film still characterized by Davies’ stately formalism, “Benediction” feels constantly in anguished, searching motion.
