   Mar 8, 2022 · The poet first finds a kindred spirit in Dr Rivers (Ben Daniels, the standout of the film's many excellent supporting players), who reveals in a roundabout way that he, like Sassoon, is gay, and later encounters and falls in love with the young Wilfred Owen (Matthew Tennyson).

   Threaded with astute humour, Benediction is powered by a captivating performance from Jack Lowden as Sassoon, a haunting Peter Capaldi as an older Sassoon, and a scene-stealing Jeremy Irvine as a deliciously waspish Ivor Novello. Currently available to watch on BFIPlayer.

   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 crowbarring open of the soul?

   • It’s hard to imagine a Terence Davies film that’s not deeply personal in some way, but Benediction, his uncompromising new biopic of Siegfried Sassoon, feels like a crowbarring open of the soul.

   Why does benediction come unstuck?

   • It’s American. Yet it’s perfect. Benediction comes unstuck only when it seeks to interest us in Sassoon’s inter-war love life and subsequent God-bothering. Siegfried, apparently, had terrible taste in men and we are encouraged to boo two of his preening, promiscuous and poisonous lovers.

   Does benediction have a chilly power?

   • Benediction’s chilly power hinges on a closing scene, indeed a long and extraordinary last shot, in which Lowden sits on a darkening park bench and Sassoon’s anguish pours out unfettered: he’s been thinking of Owen, and his poem “Disabled” in particular, and the shattering of so many lives, not least his own.

   What is Webster's benediction?

   • Webster’s describes a benediction as a Catholic sacrament, but also as the last prayer of a religious service. The last poem we hear is the one Owen wrote for Sassoon, presented over the haunting visual accompaniment of an injured soldier. It serves as a perfect encapsulation of Sassoon’s work and his survivor’s guilt.
