Our Son (2023)
This is a film about personal growth
This is not a film with a twist, as some reviewers hope for on IMDB. It's a film about personal crossroads, growth and learning direction in life, even when you think you know it all already.
'Our Son' is all about their son and what his and their needs are as both parents have drifted apart.
This film is a slow burner, but it rewards you emotionally and maybe makes you see things as lesser 'It's a gay film' and more of how the couple could have done better for all three of them.
It's well shot, uses spaces and sets well, but does not get bogged down with showing every NY landmark it can.
Watch this one for a casual evening in, or for a Sunday afternoon movie.
Golden Delicious (2022)
It's been done before
This film is slow-paced, about half an hour too long, and could do with dropping some elements. No one when watching a movie cares about the administration of a business.
The central characters are growing up and taking their time with it.
If you have watched a coming-of-age film before, there is little new here, other than social media can ruin lives.
All the classic themes of teenagers with secrets, whispers, bullying, talk of sex, and self-discovery.
Prepare yourself for a lot of screen time where characters apologise to each other. It goes on and on to nearly the very end.
But it is well shot, with good production values.
Let Him Go (2020)
A thriller indeed but characters new a review of their own
This is a tense and exciting flick, but the basis on which the film starts off reveals the grandmother is extremely stupid. Watch the film but you'll soon spot a long journey and a wholeload of trouble could have been saved if the grandmother had spoken up in the first place.
