Review of Your Son

Your Son (2018)
3/10
Disappointing Movie
4 January 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The premise was good, but eventually the movie suffers from dragged out scenes, huge plot holes and an ending so bad i regret my time spent on it.

I understand that its an artistic style to drag out scenes, but you can only show so many times a guy watching out of his car window for 2 minutes straight, or 2 minutes of walking, or 2 minutes of thinking. It got really annoying really fast. Eventually i had to fast forward because the plot wasnt moving at all.

Huge plot holes. After getting the smartphone of the kid he didnt think to share the video on whatsapp or social media, instead he just kept touching it for not to get it locked. Cmon, he is in his mid 50s, no 90 years old and doesnt know how technology works.

The police is useless. Even after presenting evidence, they dont look at it "without a judge order". Fine, but at least listen to the man and go get that order. You have all you need there. Open and shut case.

I didnt like any of the characters. They dont make logical moves and act like robots (the only exception is the daughter i guess). Everyone else is dumb as bricks. Yeah, go in a revenge crusade without knowing all the details, while your son is still fighting for his life. Then after you know what he has done, you too are without morals and do the wrong thing. Sigh.

The ending was just sad, no closure nothing. Weakest point. 3 stars only because the cinematography is good.
