So, 'The Good Son' is an intriguing documentary that dives into the life of Or, a 22-year-old navigating the complexities of identity and family. The pacing feels authentic, not rushed, as it captures Or's journey to Thailand for a sex change operation, all while maintaining a delicate balance of secrecy from conservative parents. The tone is both earnest and raw, with candid moments that really highlight the emotional struggles involved. The practical effects aren't really the focus here—it's all about Or's performance and the honest portrayal of her life changes. It’s fascinating how it deals with themes of acceptance, yearning for freedom, and the costs tied to living one's truth.
