Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAs with Guillaume Canet in the original film, My Son (2017), James McAvoy was not given a script and had to improvise all of his dialogue. All other actors knew the script and story, and McAvoy's reaction to the other actor's revelations were genuine. This was done to capture the authentic shock and surprise a parent would experience when dealing with a traumatic event.
- GoofsOn the missing person poster, Ethan's D.O.B. is stated as 07.10.20, making him only 1 year old at the time of the film's release. There is no information suggesting the film is set in 2027.
Additionally, the small print on the poster says that Ethan has been missing since 8th Nov 2020 (1 month after his DOB), meaning that his DOB should probably read 07.10.13.
- Quotes
Edmond Murray: I know I'm a bad dad. I know I'm never here. I know he can't rely on me. But it's not my fault he's gone missing, darling.
Featured review
This "thriller" doesn't have either a head or a tail. [+41%]
A thriller simply cannot run on the basis of a gimmick (of its protagonist mouthing totally improvised dialogue) - it needs a plot and neatly packaged twists & turns to keep viewers invested. My Son starts off with interesting what-ifs and frame choices. But writer-director Christian Carion struggles to develop well-rounded characters or convey a coherent story. The tension is practically non-existent after the opening scene. The thrills are absent. The biggest disappointment, however, is that Carion settles for an extremely weak finale - one that undoes all of its initial intrigue. Plot points are barely touched upon and conveniently brushed aside, while the antagonists are poorly etched. McAvoy tries. He definitely tries. But the film can't stand on its own two feet because of the bland, powerless writing.
