Summary: 5 Stars
I went to see this film in theatres with little idea of what to expect. I was overwhelmed! This movie carefully presents characters that feel familiar and full. Frank, the story's hero, who decides to swim the English Channel in a bid to help move on from past traumas, reminded me in turns of my grandfather, my father and me.
The actors in this film are wonderful to watch and the film is heartfelt without be smaltzy. It's a very enjoyable and funny movie, with an engaging emotional core. I bought this film for several people for Christmas this year, and I earnestly believe they will all embrace it as I did.
Movie Review: Uplifting and upbeat!

With strong performance by Peter Mullan and Brenda Blethyn. At age 55 Frank finds himself laid off from his job...a job he has always used as a way to deal with his grief for a son who drowned as a child. Frank is estranged from his remaining son, who is a house-husband. Seeing a crippled boy swim, Frank is inspired to swim the English Channel. In the end father and son are reconciled. There are some funny moments too.Movie Review: On a Clear Day - Inspiring, heartwarming.
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie is wonderful. It isn't maudlin. It is a glimpse of people falling on hard times and overcoming. When you see the child with cerebrral palsy swim, which encourages the man to keep trying and not quit, you cannot help but cry. A beautiful movie. Excellent acting. Good plot. It makes you feel that your problems are small and spurs you on to conquer them.
