    A sentimental British story with some nice Edinburgh scenes, that I find quite beautiful.

    Tears mixed with goose bumps. Sweet movie about a father's love for his daughter. Bill Nighy and Miranda Richardson, great as ever.

    Stephen Poliakoff has done better, but Gideon's Daughter is also a very engaging and touching story.

    i love Emily Blunt cuz she's gifted with a tacit icy face and the talent to be in an A-List bitch actress (not in this movie though)

    overall the movie for me is just sweet and okay.

    This looks excessively slow and British.

    Bill Nighy and Emily Blunt just blew me away. I didnt really understand this the first time i watched it i was really confused to be completely honest.
