Performances Solid, But Didn’t Move Me
Daniel (Timothy Hutton) is the son of two radical parents. I don’t mean radical like it was used in the 80’s, but radical as it was used in the 60’s and earlier. They were heavily active in the Communist Party as it was represented in America. Their involvement and even their lives came to an end when they were accused of selling atomic secrets to the Russians.

You can imagine the effects on a child when his/her parents are executed. And in this case Daniel had a sister, so two children were negatively affected. The movie bounces back and forth between the late 30’s/early 40’s and the 60’s which was pre and post Daniel’s parents’ death. Susan (Amanda Plummer), Daniel’s sister, has taken her parents’ death a lot harder than Daniel. She’s convinced that the government executed them unjustly whereas Daniel needs more proof.

“Daniel” is politically charged with the politics of 1940’s America. The acting performances were good even if the script was a bit lacking. I like Sidney Lumet as a director which is why I even watched. It’s a dense topic, but nothing Lumet can’t handle. I think the movie’s biggest failure was to move me. There was a little bit of mystery and a lot of drama, but none of that truly drew me in.

I, Daniel Isaacson
After his worried sister suffers a nervous breakdown, a graduate student tries to investigate whether his parents were really guilty of being Soviet spies in this solemn drama from Sidney Lumet. The film is loosely based on an actual married couple who were executed in the 1950s with their young children forced to grow up without them. The film shares some striking similarities with Lumet’s latter ‘Running on Empty’ as it spins a tale of two youths trying to live their own lives separate from their parents’ political actions. Not nearly as well-known or acclaimed, ‘Daniel’ is beset by an unhelpful, overly complex narrative structure that jumps randomly between time periods. Some of the supporting performances are also overwrought. The film does well though depicting Daniel and his sister’s difficulties as children removed from their parents. The harsh times they experience in a state run institution are especially potent and the bond between the pair is heartfelt. Timothy Hutton is also perfectly cast in a passionate performance as the adult title character and his on/off narration of how the electric chair works is effectively eerie. Speaking of which, the eventual execution scenes are handled very well. On one hand, ‘Daniel’ is a bit of a mess with its time period leaps and inconsistent performances, but its portrait of a young man haunted by his parents’ fate truly resonates.
