The Good Son

About This Movie

The Good Son (2021) presents a raw narrative that unfolds in the shadow of grief and the weight of legacy. Ramona inherits not just her late husband’s debts, but also the chaotic presence of Yovanny—his son. The atmosphere is thick with tension, reminiscent of a slow burn where each scene builds on the emotional turmoil. The pacing feels deliberate, almost languid, which really brings the weight of each decision and consequence to the forefront. The rooster fighting subplot adds a gritty layer, serving as both a metaphor and a stark reflection of Yovanny’s reckless choices. Performances feel grounded, especially as Ramona navigates her new reality, making the dynamics feel painfully real. It’s a film that lingers, challenging viewers to ponder the cycles of trauma in familial relationships.
