This is writer/director Elan Duran Cohen's second feature,His first since 'Confusion of Genders'in 2001. I am not sure if I saw it but it sounds better than this one.
Les Petit Fils (The Grand Sons) is not as enjoyable as I was led to believe. ONE major reason for this was the sub-tiles, the font was very small & hard to read,I had trouble understanding what was happening.
The two lead characters a Grandmother and her grown grandson were not interesting for me to really care for either one. Reine Ferrato in her first role tries to give a good performance.The script has her constantly talk, to me that is a characteristic I want to avoid. It made her very annoying & somewhat unlikeable.
Guillauame Quatravaux is the grandson & this too is his first role, He also tries hard,I felt his crying scene at the end was out of place. I did not see the need.
The rest of cast is good, the production is adequate..
The best thing about the film was its length 81 minutes long.
I also felt in was claustrophobic, In nearly every scene all the characters seemed to be almost on top of each other.
Maybe If I was able to read the subtitles clearer, I may have liked the movie better.
Ratings: ** (out of 4) 57 points (out of 100) IMDb 5 (out of 10)
