Jan 28, 2025 Full Review Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter And what started off as something political becomes something deeply and painfully personal. Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews The Quiet Son is outspoken about his extremist beliefs. Rated: C+ Feb 4, 2025 Full Review Sarah Manvel Movies We Texted About Just because your son does horrible things doesn’t mean you stop loving him. The Quiet Son examines these complex issues with the rare combination of clear eyes and an open heart. It's a remarkably powerful film. Oct 9, 2024 Full Review Damon Wise Deadline Hollywood Daily It makes some obvious points, but those points are still valid, and the Coulins have crafted a gripping societal drama about the quagmire that is modern politics. Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Boyd van Hoeij Screen International An utterly conventional domestic drama whose focus feels too narrow to be saying much about the country today.
