Movie: The Son
Starring: Hugh Jackman and Laura Dern
Rating: 2 out of 10
The acting was supurb, and the cinematography was great. Dern and Jackman were brilliant. The film recieves a low rating not due to their performances, rather the subject matter and its effect on me. The story is about a son, who’s parents divorce, the father (Jackman) fell in love with a woman who knew he was married at the time. The Son starts having spells, he does self harm and in the climax well.. suffice to say the film is bleak, it will make you think of your dysfunctional relationships, and if you suffer from depression like myself, it will only open that dark water well. For those reasons I cannot recommend it, in fact anyone suffering from depression, and other conditions should not see this film.. it really exasperated my depression..
