It's filled with far too much talk and it never justifies its length, but if you succumb to its old-fashioned Renoir style of storytelling, The Grandfather has its pleasures.

Undercut by funereal pacing and an ending that seems more than a little contrived.

The material has enough meat to enable charitable viewers to drift in and out, but the result is too arch to conjure up much affection.
