Movie Review: ‘The Son’ will make you squirm, for all the wrong reasons

Admirers of "The Father," Florian Zeller's shattering 2020 drama about dementia and filial devotion, will no doubt be intrigued to learn that Zeller has made "The Son," a movie that shares some (literal) DNA with its predecessor, but none of the first film's subtlety, visual elegance or thematic heft.

This is especially apt for this indie drama in which Anna Kendrick plays a woman reckoning with an emotionally and verbally abusive intimate relationship.

It’s no wonder that New Line and Warner Bros. fired up the reboot machine for this title some three decades later to give the concept a fresh new 2020s spin, especially with basketball superstar LeBron James on board to develop, produce and appear in the project.
