Synopsis
Jennifer Vogel’s father John was larger than life. As a child, Jennifer marveled at his magnetizing energy and ability to make life feel like a grand adventure.

Based on a true story and directed by Sean Penn, Flag Day stars Penn and his real-life daughter Dylan Penn in an intimate family portrait about a young woman who struggles to rise above the wreckage of her past while reconciling the inescapable bond between a daughter and her father.

FLAG DAY is a poorly shot, directed & written melodrama. Sean Penn has clearly lost whatever directorial magic he had earlier in his career. Lots of screaming & crying from Penn & his daughter, Dylan Penn, with several meaningless one scene cameos from big name actors. I…

Sean Penn remains one of the very few actor-turned-directors who can still intrigue and emotionally move me. His too-rare and too-odd (for others) directorial flourishes move in-line with the likes of Paul Newman or Robert Duvall, rather than, say, I don’t know, George…

As a director, Penn knows how to create arresting tableaus that draw the eye and spark the viewer’s own sensory past. As an actor, no one is better at finding honesty in the moment. Like the antihero at its center, the essence of Flag Day remains tantalizingly elusive, potently evoked but never fully realized.

Penn gives him a vivid, wheedling desperation that’s weirdly moving, and the younger Penn has clearly inherited the emotional expressiveness of her mother, Robin Wright. Maybe that’s why Flag Day feels as much a love letter from Penn to his own daughter as the story of someone else’s.

A piece of would-be American classicism, this is a hackneyed, unevenly written hybrid between a con-man antihero drama and an emotive, heart-bruised coming-of-age film. Like his last, disastrous effort The Last Face, the good intentions are palpable but chased with a real streak of vanity and self-regard.
