Aberdeen (2000)
Kaisa (Lena Headey), a beautiful and feisty Scottish woman, finally has her life together - at least until her mother (Charlotte Rampling) asks an enormous favor: to bring back to her Kaisa's estranged, larger-than-life father (Stellan Skarsgard). The two of them, father and daughter together, set out on a wild, brutally funny yet heartbreaking journey, which takes them through their emotional past before reaching their ultimate destination.
Besides giving a review, I want to give my readers a chance to learn more. It is always good to have more than one opinion.

This is wonderfully written and acted but depressing road trip movie. As a favor to her dying mother, a young successful lawyer must find her alcoholic father who abandoned them when she was a child. As they travel together, they face both the past and present. This is not a Hollywood feel good reunion movie. This is more harsh and messy. I think every alcoholic should see this movie.
I am giving this one 4 stars.
All the best,
Alan
