      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    When Did You Last See Your Father? explores the complexities of a father-and-son relationship, which shifts and evolves over decades. When Blake Morrison (Firth) was young, he was often embarrassed by his physician father Arthur (Broadbent), who had a penchant for using his status to gain entry into clubs he didn

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.34:1 DVD delivers inconsistent black levels, which are typically deep and well defined, but occasionally elevated with poor definition. Near-black information is crushed for the most part, but there is still some detailing in the shadows. The color scheme is dominated by greens and browns, and colors in general are too bright. Fleshtones have a green appearance throughout. Resolution is relatively soft, and compression artifacts can be recognized throughout; color banding can be noticed as well. Edge enhancement is relatively minor, and is not a big distraction. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #60 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I feel the picture/sound reviews are very accurate. The reference systems are awesome. The WSR staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The on-line version of the magazine is a great reference tool. It is the most technically advanced home theatre magazine out there. If you consider yourself a serious home theatre buff, you should subscribe! It doesn't get anymore cutting edge than your Reference Holosonic Home Theatre Laboratory. Gary Reber has the coolest job on the planet!
