REVIEW: Filmmaker Florian Zeller’s follow-up to his Oscar-winning 'The Father' sees Jackman and Laura Dern struggle to connect with their tortured son.
from a first-person perspective, allowing the confusing mix of memory and present-tense, of people and places, to become the story., Zeller’s new movie, was similarly adapted from a work that the filmmaker and playwright crafted for the stage, and is similarly intergenerational and tense. Here, a father is trying to save the memory of his son, in a story that begins when the son, Nicholas , is 17 years old and on the verge of being expelled from school after months of skipping.
Jackman’s casting is probably the single most effective thing about this movie — because Peter is deluding himself. Something about his can-do spirit, the searching wisdom in his eyes, his confidence in the bright side. Everything that makes Jackman such a worthy man of musical theater is what makes him such an ironic and pained father to a boy like Nicholas. Because his glass-half-full mentality starts to feel less like encouragement than like denial.
