The Son (15)
Dir. Florian Zeller, UK, 2022, 123 mins. Cast. Vanessa Kirby, Hugh Jackman, Anthony Hopkins.
Florian Zeller’s follow-up to The Father features a tremendous performance from Hugh Jackman as a divorced lawyer who agrees to look after his troubled offspring.
Peter (Hugh Jackman) is a man who is accustomed to success: he's a high-flying lawyer, with a new partner and baby, a chic Manhattan apartment and aspirations to move into the political sphere. So when it becomes clear that Nicholas (Zen McGrath) - his 17-year-old son from his first marriage - is struggling, Peter naturally assumes that he can fix the problem...
Writer-director Zeller's third instalment in his trilogy examining mental health is an emotional wrecking ball almost exquisite in its destructive power.
