The Son

oh god. this was truly something else. as soon as i finished i knew there were going to be many adults who do not like it- they do not understand what it is like to be a teenager in this generation. i found it similar to the film beautiful boy. it was filled with emotion. 9.6/10

This was good from start to finish. It shows how parents can be in denial when it comes to their child’s mental health. As well as how divorce effects the child.

It was a little slow but super emotional and amazing acting from both Laura dern and hugh jackman. Just totally could’ve wiped out the kids acting he literally sucked and frustrated me so much I would’ve been PERFECT for this role of this sensitive emotional kid. What a shame

Devastating

could’ve been a lot deeper, the acting by the son during the emotional scenes sucks. also the bickering and cornering done by the doctor during the appointment was actually infuriating

idk feels fake. like this dude leaves his family & then all of a sudden he's super into "helping" his son? it's like he can only ever focus on one thing/person at the time. & they're all good actors, but there was hardly any chemistry between them.
