In Our Son, Luke Evans and Billy Porter deliver stunning performances, but it’s a familiar story we’ve all seen before.
Marriage, divorce, and custody battles have been popular topics to explore in a range of genres for a long time. In 1993, the late Robin Williams graced us with his nanny skills after a divorce separated him from his children in Mrs. Doubtfire. Steve Carell’s seemingly perfect marriage with Julianne Moore in Crazy, Stupid, Love falls apart after his wife’s infidelity leads to a divorce. More recently, the acclaimed Marriage Story detailed the ugly details behind custody battles.
Oliver’s intimate drama showcases a beautifully human and devastating depiction of a broken marriage. However, it is not without its problems. The foundation of Our Son’s premise rests on the idea that two people have fallen out of love and need to decide on the resulting custody affairs. And yet, there’s a pungent bias that saturates the senses from the moment we learn of their falling-out.
