A Man My Son is one of those quiet films that sneaks up on you. It's a road movie at its heart, but it’s not just about the journey; it dives deep into the complex relationship between Fred, a projectionist, and his father. Gouëlou manages to weave in elements of generational clash, giving it a unique flavor. The pacing feels relaxed, almost like a leisurely drive through Normandy, allowing moments of reflection. The inclusion of drag queens adds an unexpected vibrancy, contrasting with the family dynamics at play. Performances are raw and genuine, especially in the way they capture the nuances of father-son interactions. It's distinct in its mix of humor and poignant moments, making it a thoughtful watch.
