The Son on IMDb

A couple of years after his parents’ divorce, 17-year-old Nicholas no longer feels he can stay with his mother, Kate. He moves in with his father Peter and Peter’s new partner Beth. Juggling work, his and Beth’s new baby, and the offer of his dream job in Washington, Peter tries to care for Nicholas as he wishes his own father had cared for him. But by reaching for the past to correct its mistakes, he loses sight of how to hold onto the Nicholas in the present.

This wasn’t an easy decision, but we’re incredibly proud of what we achieved in that time, and are grateful for the experiences and opportunities that came our way.

What we think

For Zeller, it’s a colossal and baffling step backwards from his debut The Father.

What others think

I’m unsure about that showy final scene. But this is such a powerful and literate film.
Peter Bradshaw The Guardian
Relentlessly miserable and reductive filmmaking.
Hannah Strong Little White Lies
The simplicity of Zeller’s dialogue made The Father feel particularly brutal, but here it occasionally spills into hollow melodrama, with a hammy third-act confrontation between father and son.
Leila Latif Sight & Sound
