With 'The Son,' starring Hugh Jackman and Laura Dern, director Florian Zeller can't reach the emotional honesty of his previous film, 'The Father.' Our TIFF22 review:
In 2020, Florian Zeller released his directorial debut, The Father, a tremendously moving and powerful story about the horror of dementia and the toll that disorder takes on his family and those around him. The Father earned Zeller and his co-writer Christopher Hampton an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay , and won Anthony Hopkins his second Oscar for his portrayal of the title character.
Several years after his parents got a divorce, Nicholas Miller decides he no longer wants to live with his mother Kate . Instead, Nicholas wants to live with his father Peter , who is living with his new partner Beth and their new baby. Nicholas has been skipping school for over a month, instead, deciding to walk around the streets of New York City all day. He states that life has been weighing him down and that he wants something to change.
In one scene, Peter goes to his father Anthony , and it’s clear Peter still has animosity toward his father. When Peter begins to talk about his own son, Anthony takes this as a hint that Peter is trying to brag about how he’s a better father than Anthony ever was. To this, Anthony states that Peter should “just fucking get over it.
