Brecha

This film follows a father and son due.

The father has just been released from prison. His son (who is 12) who has been living with his grandmother, moves back in with his dad.

The film follows the two as they try to develop a relationship. The son wants his father's approval but doesn't know how to get it. The father is too busy dealing with his own issues to give his son the attention that he needs.

Over the course of the film we see their relationship develop. They have their struggles and confrontations but ultimately, the message is that communication is important. It is only once the two really talk to each other on a meaningful level that their relationship makes progress.

The acting in this film is genuinely great. Points to the kid, who is incredibly believable. Certain elements of the flashbacks are a bit tropey for this kind of genre. But it is different enough to not cause full on eye-rolling.

The film held my interest throughout and as I said... the child actor did a wonderful job.
