Flora and Son

5/5 ⭐️

The story itself is not very original, as it follows a single mother raising a rebellious teenager with a history of stealing and a somewhat absent father. However, the filmmakers make it work through strong storytelling and beautiful cinematography.

What makes this movie special is the way it blends drama, comedy, and musical elements. It’s a film you can watch with your teenage children because it explores the difficult relationship between a mother and her son. However, through shared interests, they are able to build a stronger bond. In this case, both characters find a connection through music.

This is the first film I’ve seen starring Eve Hewson (Bono’s daughter), and she portrays Flora in a very comedic way while still making the audience connect with her character. This is not a movie that will have you crying; instead, it leaves you with a warm, happy, and uplifting feeling.

At some point (if you are a parent), you will probably relate to Flora, and if you are a son or daughter, you may see yourself in Max.

A great film and 100% recommended.

I liked it, but I don’t see a good motivation behind Flora’s sudden change, her appeal to music and desire to be a good mother. We start with her at a bar hooking up with a stranger, and apart from that we never see her like that again, she just changed, like that.

6/10
