   May 17, 2022 · Benediction: Terence Davies’ Siegfried Sassoon portrait is a film of waning power. Davies’ second consecutive portrait of a poet, with Jack Lowden and Peter Capaldi taking turns as the war veteran, has moments of tender power, but doesn’t reach into the heart of his art. 17 May 2022.

   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.

   What are the highlights of benediction?

   • The film’s highlights are all in its first half. Opening in 1914, with a confident pan down the front of a theatre, Benediction begins at the London premiere of The Rite of Spring, as Lowden’s voiceover quotes Concert-Interpretation, Sassoon’s poetic response to Stravinsky’s piece.

   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.

   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.

   Is Benediction weaker in post-war scenes?

   Mar 8, 2022 · "Running alongside the film's more elegiac sweep is a cut-glass wit." | Photo: Courtesy of Glasgow Film Festival. Tweet. Terence Davies' filmmaking has always had a lyrical sweep so this biopic of Siegfried Sassoon fits him like pen in hand, ringing with poetic rhythm that forges connections beyond the everyday.
