Barons

About This Movie

Barons (2016) takes you on this rather pleasant road trip through the Latvian countryside, where a father-son duo strives to sell an antique piece of furniture. It’s an interesting blend of comedy and family drama, with the father dreaming big for his son’s filmmaking aspirations, while the son seems a bit more grounded, maybe even disenchanted, about it all. The pacing flows like a lazy afternoon drive, and there’s a genuine warmth to their interactions, which adds a layer of depth to the humor. The film captures that bittersweet tension between dreams and reality, and it’s refreshing seeing such relatable characters navigating their own expectations. You really get a sense of place and personality through the practical effects and the performances feel quite real, like watching a piece of life unfold.
