With The Son Florian Zeller tries again to build a sober work like he did with The Father, but unfortunately, despite the solid performances of his cast, especially Hugh Jackman, what he ends up with is an impressively ineffective movie.With The Son Florian Zeller tries again to build a sober work like he did with The Father, but unfortunately, despite the solid performances of his cast, especially Hugh Jackman, what he ends up with is an impressively ineffective movie.

It's not a sloppily crafted movie, except that it's very poorly structured and hardly realistic. The treatment of depression is flawed and, above all, superfluous.

Regardless of the work of its actors. Mostly Jackman, I think The Son will resonate more with viewers who will identify with the issues than what the movie does about them, and when I as a viewer feel like I'm not even getting a good examination of the issue, let alone something that makes me respond emotionally, what's left about it doesn't resolve or save absolutely nothing.

This was a huge disappointment.… Expand
