Review of The Son

The Son (I) (2022)
4/10
Where is the character development?
30 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The parents clearly were not equipped to deal with their sons mental illness and I was rooting for them to understand they needed to get him professional help and pay more attention. Then right at the end when it seems they do understand, they fall back into their old habits and take him home?!?! It is not like the signs were very subtle, he told them multiple times he found life to hard to experience. And if the parents learned how to deal with that, if we would see more development within the father through his relationship with his father then maybe there would have been something interesting happen.

The lead up to that gunshot was super intense (also, the dad not taking out the gun from the bathroom tells you enough of how serious they take his mental health).
