   Mar 8, 2022 · Reviewed by: Amber Wilkinson. "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.

   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 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.

   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.

   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.

   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.
