3/4

My Son finds its cinematic footing in a committed, steady, realism, and that creates a high-wire act of tension and suspense that's refreshingly clean and consistently effective.

Neither a bracing blast of vigilante pleasure nor an absorbing character piece, "My Son" is most notable for being Carion's second straight film about a father's desperate search for his son.

Think a more bare-bones, French-language "Taken."

3/5

Like Perrin's quest, the movie bluntly bashes its way through the snow-covered French countryside in a relentless pursuit toward the end.

There's more focus on the parents' emotional turmoil than on suspense or action, though those latter qualities do take over eventually. That said, there's not really enough character depth to this well-crafted film...

My Son is tightly constructed and well layered.

The movie's plot is stupid and dull , a reflection of the writer's immaturity and the director's lack of talent and imagination. The movie fails to explain all crucial elements of a great movie and the ending is insulting to the audiences. A total waste of time and effort. All that money invested into making this shitty film should have used better if they got a better writer and director. Dont waste your time seeing it. I was mad when i walked out of the theater.

Guillaume Canet offre une performance plus qu'honorable dans un thriller, qui malgré le rythme un peu lent, s'avère globalement satisfaisant.
