The Son

Florian Zeller returns after his exacting, devastating drama The Father, with another emotionally-turbulent story of familial conflict. Collaborating with British screenwriter Christopher Hampton and produced by the UK’s See-Saw Films, this intelligent, impeccably-acted story - featuring a standout performance from Brit Vanessa Kirby - is a simmering pot of resentment and guilt.
