There’s an Interesting Movie Trapped Inside Roofman

by

Director Derek Cianfrance, known for his sensitive portrayals of flawed men in films like *The Place Beyond the Pines* and *Blue Valentine*, found himself drawn to this story of a father prioritizing material possessions – a bike, a pool – over spending time with his daughter. However, *Roofman*, which he also co-wrote, doesn’t quite land as the lighthearted film it seems to aim for, resulting in an uneven tone. A good example is the scene where Jeffrey is finally caught after completing 45 jobs, with the police arriving during his daughter’s birthday party. It tries to be funny, showing Jeffrey comically running through neighborhoods, but it’s undercut by the upsetting image of him being arrested in front of his daughter, who watches with fear. Cianfrance doesn’t treat the people around Jeffrey as unimportant; the film stays largely within Jeffrey’s perspective, using voice-over to reveal his belief that he’s a well-intentioned person doing his best with what he’s got and avoiding hurting anyone.

As a therapist herself, she’s also struggling professionally. All of these disappointments finally come together, creating a moment that feels utterly devastating.
