In French filmmaker Bertrand Blier's seriocomic Beau Pere, Ariel Besse plays a 14-year-old girl who is perversely attracted to her 30-year-old stepfather (Patrick Dewaere). Daddy fends off these unnatural attentions, but eventually gives in and allows himself to be seduced. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
It has enough of Blier's customary taboo-busting vigor to provide a reasonably unsettling good time.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
Beau Pere conveys the ways in which some men prove to be pawns in the chess game of love.
