    Not the best execution

    It's a movie that may hold promise, but eventually falls.

    The movie starts well, with a lot of intrigue and suspense, but then it becomes very absurd due to the conveniences of the story, very predictable and because the way things are resolved so absurdly and easily. There is a lack of character development as you can't empathize with them or the situations they go through, it seems that the characters don't learn anything after going through very difficult situations, the acting doesn't help much either as at a certain point they become exaggerated and very dramatic. There is also no good development of the antagonists, and the constant camera blurs ruin this movie more. The locations where it was filmed are very beautiful, it is understood that several scenes are very limited or fall short due to the low budget, the story is not very original, but I think that the important thing is its execution, something that this film does not fully achieve.

    This movie builds a good mystery but it gets ruined as the plot progresses and when its twist appears, giving way to a not-so-exciting and predictable ending, turning this movie into something very generic and without much innovation.

    Is the movie My Son worth watching?

    For all its solid ingredients, the final formula of My Son is let down by a wandering script. You end up with this jumbled up mess of a movie that goes from harrowing, sincere drama to over-the-top revenge thriller. It just doesn't sit right. January 17, 2022 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

    Is My Son based on a true story?

    While McAvoy reacting to events in real-time should give the film extra realism, just how real is the plot — is My Son based on a true story? Like its French counterpart, Carion's story is entirely fictional.
