Your Son

Miguel Angel Vivas, the Spanish talent behind the hit Kidnapped and the solid horror film Extinction,now comes with a revenge drama laced thriller and it's his best film to date. The story focuses on a doctor whose son is brought to hospital brutally beaten and nearly dead. Since the police don’t care, he decides to find the culprits himself. The whole film is driven by Jose Coronado's performance and although it is slower paced, it draws the viewer's attention from the start and serves up a very authentic and stiffing atmosphere with an unexpectedly sharp finale (yes there is a rape), and a shocking twist at the end. The highlight are also the scene in the toilet and the beating of the son, which will make you physically uncomfortable. The Spaniards are in good form again. 80%. (22/03/2019)

A solid Spanish family drama that has a clear idea. In the plot, the plot is in turns interesting and slightly boring (especially due to a slow start), but in the end it manages to shock the audience, which elevates the resulting impression to more than average. (13/05/2020)
