To Olivia: Portrait of a famous family in distress
Film review: Sometimes clunky drama on the bereavement of Roald Dahl and Patricia Neal
Film Title: To Olivia
Genre: Drama
There’s a fair bit of baggage hanging around this treatment of Roald Dahl and Patricia Neal’s emotional recovery after the death of their daughter in 1962. A later stage of the marriage has already been examined, with Dirk Bogarde and Glenda Jackson at the dashboard, in the famous 1981 TV movie The Patricia Neal Story. Following revelations about anti-Semitism, Dahl, never celebrated as the warmest of men, is now a somewhat “problematic” figure. But John Hay’s film just about gets by on committed performances and dusty rural ambience.
