When Did You Last See Your Father? (2007) on Netflix

Plot summary

Arthur Morrison, a rural general practitioner, called his son Blake a fathead, intruded on his private moments, and told tall tales and outright lies. He flirted with other women in front of his wife Kim and had an affair with Beaty, a family friend. At other times he took Blake camping to try out sleeping bags he had made, and let the boy drive the family's Alvis convertible across a deserted beach. Arthur never accepted that his son chose writing, and never acknowledged his achievements. Now Blake, a writer and critic, keeps watch with his mother and sister Gillian at the Yorkshire home where his father is dying, his memories moving between the bedside and his boyhood and youth.
