Synopsis
Pierre, a devoted father in his 50s, raises his two sons alone. When Louis, the youngest, leaves home to attend the Sorbonne in Paris, Fus, slightly older and not as successful academically, becomes more and more secretive. Driven by a fascination for violence, he gets entangled in far-right extremist groups, at the very opposite of his father’s values. Between them, there is love and hate, until tragedy happens.
Community Reviews
The film 'The Quiet Son' has elicited mixed reactions, with many praising Vincent Lindon's compelling performance and the film's poignant exploration of familial bonds amidst ideological conflicts. However, some viewers found the pacing slow and criticized the film for its surface-level treatment of political themes and radicalization. The emotional weight of a father's struggle and the nuanced portrayal of family dynamics were highlights, yet the lack of depth in exploring the extremist ideology left some viewers wanting more.
👍 Vincent Lindon's performance is widely acclaimed.
👎 May feel slow and underexplores political themes.

le sujet est hyper pertinent, les jeux sont vraiment bien, mais je trouve malheureusement qu’on ne rentre pas assez dans le fond du problème. Les vrais violences et réalité de ces parties sont vu en surface. J’aurais aimé voir encore plus les faces sombres du sujet.
