The Hollywood Reporter: Fathers & Daughters': Film Review - "...Crowe is good in the part – lovingly affectionate, bearishly physical, but also a tad witty when he comes out of his self-imposed isolation and takes a swipe at stiff-backed lawyers, educators and his brother-in-law. His warm relationship to his publisher, played to a T by a relaxed Jane Fonda, is the only positive one outside of his daughter."

From IMDb trivia re Fathers and Daughters: "The screenplay for this film was featured in the 2012 Blacklist; a list of the "most liked" unmade scripts of the year."
