The Son (15) Borderlines Film Festival

Florian Zeller follows his award-winning and profound depiction of the impact of dementia (The Father starring Anthony Hopkins) with a new focus on family.

Peter is a hyper-successful lawyer embarking on a new life with his young wife and their baby. Meanwhile, his troubled son Nicholas from his first marriage is behaving oddly and truanting from school. As Peter and his ex-wife Kate are thrown together to deal with a condition that they do not comprehend, the film evolves into a gripping psychological drama. With a career-best performance from Jackman – and an unforgettable cameo from Anthony Hopkins – this is powerful cinema.

“The Son is about the middle-aged generation’s fear of and incomprehension of the young. …this is such a powerful and literate film.” Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
