Son, this is not it!

About This Movie

So, 'Son, this is not it!' is quite the peculiar piece from 2021, isn’t it? The characters are unsettlingly relatable—the white-headed son, awkward and morally ambiguous, juxtaposed against a dad who seems more like a background player in his own family. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating, as we watch this dysfunctional dynamic unfold. There’s this dark undercurrent running throughout, especially with the son’s self-destructive tendencies and the mysterious housekeeper. The pacing feels deliberate, almost excruciating at times, but it really accentuates the characters' inner turmoil. It’s strange and haunting, and you can’t help but be drawn into its bleak world.

This film has a bit of a cult following among collectors for its unsettling themes and offbeat narrative. There’s not a lot of solid distribution history, which makes it a bit of a rarity to find, especially in physical formats. It might not be easy to come by, but those in the know seem to appreciate its raw performances and the unique atmosphere it creates.
