   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.

   Is Benediction an autobiography?

   • The only steady ground in Benediction lies in Sassoon’s lines of poetry, recited by Lowden and played alongside newsreels of muddied soldiers staring out of the screen – at us, at Siegfried, at Davies too, perhaps. It’s a widely agreed-upon thesis that every one of the director’s films functions, in some way, as autobiography.

   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.

   Who plays Siegfried Sassoon in 'benediction'?

   • But it’s an especially apt summation of Benediction, which depicts a quest for personal salvation that remains unfulfilled. Jack Lowden and Peter Capaldi play WWI English poet Siegfried Sassoon in his younger years and old age in 'Benediction,' a melancholy bio-drama.

   Is 'pain the only Terror' in benediction a cradle-to-grave biopic?

   • “Pain is not the only terror,” laments the war poet Siegfried Sassoon in Benediction. But these agonies are nameless to him and, in Terence Davies ’s film about his life, we spend a great deal of time fruitlessly trying to put words to his sadness. Benediction isn’t a cradle-to-grave biopic, nor does it dramatise a single, pivotal event.
