“The Dad Quest” is a Mexican film on Netflix that revisits the father-son dynamic to pose a curious question: is the bond between father and child shaped by biology, or does it come through memories and shared experiences?
“The Dad Quest” presents these questions again to offer us one of those movies that always work: a film with a charming child who doesn’t have a good relationship with his father, and who, through the narrative process of the movie, will confront these problems to solve them.
It’s a classic formula that its director, Salvador Espinosa, approaches in the most traditional way, without eccentricities in terms of form or narrative. “The Dad Quest” gives us exactly what we expect to see, in the way we expect to see it, and resolves the matter as we anticipate.
Are you expecting a family movie? Well, here it is.
