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

Having personally lost someone to suicide, this story feels like a truthful representation of a kind of pain that is difficult to describe and even harder to understand from the outside.
The film doesn’t try to simplify it or make it comforting, and that’s exactly why it works.

Really good movie, really shows how much people are affected by other people’s choices even though they can’t do anything about it. Like how his parents separated and it seemed that all he wanted was his family back together or that he loved his childhood but life could never be like that again to him.

this just broke me..
