A simple yet engaging melodrama. Read full review

The Film Stage Dan Mecca

Dec 5, 2023

Becoming a parent means living for another life as much as––if not more than––your own. There’s nothing straightforward about it. At times, this film is a bit too straightforward. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

“Sweet” and “sensitive” may win the day. But this fight over Our Son is a little bland and predigested, and even if that underscores the point that marriage and family and the dynamics that create dysfunction are all the same (“Open marriage” included.), that doesn’t give this affecting film much room for surprise.

Evans and Porter deliver heartbreaking performances with the right amount of intensity, leaving a lasting impact. Read full review

Without a more psychologically insightful script and less predictable story developments, Our Son shows that gay couples’ problems can be just as uninteresting as any other couples’ problems. Welcome to post-marriage equality humdrum! Read full review
