1. • • “Benediction,” Terence Davies’ achingly beautiful portrait of the English war poet and soldier Siegfried Sassoon, is a movie of acute sadness and intense pleasure. The pleasure and the sadness are inextricable, which seems fitting, given how closely aesthetic bliss and moral despair were entwined in Sassoon’s own art.

   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 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.

    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.
