DVD Description

Gideon Warner is a hugely successful public relations consultant to the wealthy, to politicians, to businessmen and rising starlets. Their hair, their clothes, where they go and with who - Gideon advises them on everything. With all his skills, he is the perfect man to package the Millennium celebrations and sell them to the rest of the world. But disillusioned with the world in which he works and increasingly concerned over the growing distance between him and his daughter, Gideon takes less and less notice of his business, just as clients seem to want him more and more. He clings to his slowly flourishing relationship with Stella - a mother grieving for her dead son - as his world spins further out of control. Only together can they make it stop...

5.0 out of 5 stars Poliakoff's Best, 6 Aug 2009
By Pam Shortis "Gina103" (Boise, Idaho, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Stephen Poliakoff has the tendency to make films that are too broadly themed and to get a trifle bogged down in his own creation.

He has avoided this hole that he digs for himself , however, with the wonderful Gideon's Daughter.
It's themes are simple; trust and letting go. Hold on to only those things that really matter. Understated and without the complexities than can swamp Polikoff's work, I'm thinking particularly of Friends and Crocodiles here, Gideon's Daughter is a really little gem.

As usual, actors Miranda Richardson and Bill Nighy shine out boldly. Wonderful performances from both of these.
Buy this and I can assure you that you won't simply want to watch it once.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marvelous, 10 Mar 2007
By Paul Bjorkstedt "bookman" (Sweden) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Just a beautiful film about what we human beings take for granted and what really matters. This film was recently presented to a swedish audience and I'm so grateful for that cause I truly believe my life is the richer for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The network airing of Gideon's Daughter, 26 Feb 2006
I had not planned any television viewing, nor when watching the story had I expected to be taken along with the storyline - however, before long I was settled before the screen wishing for commercial breaks only because I needed a drink and admittedly now did not want to miss anything.... Having said that, I feel I will be getting this title upon availability - I became enthralled and in no way perturbed or mis-directed by a cast of well known faces.
The story seen as a family affair with the familiar intrusion of work - here on a grand scale as the character Gideon is a wealthy magnate - is enthralling, Gideon's daughter Natasha has her story told as it is throughout by the character played by Robert Lyndsay, narrating to an agency temp and with parallels in his own life, the seamless blend of plot and narration with such heart-wrenching moments as would crush any caring parent is enough to pen a review, buy the dvd and watch it again and again - it is inspirational and draws from real news footage making it a study along a factual historical sequence of events..., it is a highly personable outing and for those who would have to know what to prepare for - I would suggest settling in for an intriguing tale expecting to find feelings they hold dear tuning in with them to fully appreciate the emotional content. It does not twist or turn or buck and sway but tells the story with affection and leaves the viewer wanting to know their part, feeling somewhat embroiled as one would expect when the news footage recalls events we are all familiar with...

Quite gripping stuff.
