My wife and I cried throughout this movie because the story reminded us so much of our son Jonathan, who we lost to suicide in June, 2020. He was only 21-years-old. He was a beautiful and charming young man, but like the character in the movie, had a very sensitive heart and was dealing with immense inner pain. It all started after having a bad experience in the military and being discharged when he was 18. To deal with his pain, he got into drugs and we almost lost him a couple of times due to drug overdose. We took him to the best therapists and rehab centers around the country and at times he showed some progress but after his girlfriend left him in April 2020, he was unable to deal with the pain and shot himself while under the influence of heavy drugs. He never left a goodbye note and in his last phone messages we found out he wanted to get some help. Our hearts are broken and will never be the same. You never get over losing a child in this manner. You just learn to live with it like a person with a limp and a cane. My message to anyone reading this as a grieving father: Love your children, understand them when they hurt, don't expect them to be like you because they're not. Each person is a unique individual with their own struggles. Accept them unconditionally and don't reject them, get them all the help you can even if it costs you everything!

As a kid raised in the exact same situation, i only can say wow... this movie hits so hard. Ppl Who cant relate dont see the amount of detail in this movie. Its sooo good, so deep. Wow❤

[theresaandrade]

What an emotional masterpiece. As someone who has been depressed/suicidal....you can feel and understand the boy's emotions. Very touching movie.

[cheekyoziechick]

I feel this so much. No matter what we are going through..our kids are going through issues of their own. Be there for them.

I watched this today, as a young boy growing up I can really feel what happens in the film. I got home, sat down and just cried. Truly an amazing film, I loved every bit of it.

[bobsmiley]

Straight up burst into tears at the hug at the end while swimming. Gonna go hug my boy now.

No matter what movie Hugh Jackman stars, whether it’s good or bad, his acting just never gets old

[vernefits]

I cried with this movie. I had once an episode of depression. I remember myself wandering in the city just walking and seating in park benches not wanting to go to work or talk to people. it was a dark period.

Watched this today. Got home, sat on the sofa, couldn’t move. Know that it’s about a teen struggling with depression before you go as it will be distressing for some people. Very well made movie. Great cast.

[HECROD]

I'm not going to spoil it... but as a father of a little boy, this movie destroyed me. I literally cried watching it like I have never before in my life. If you are a parent, watch it, it is a great movie. But beware: it's a hard one.

[Justcuz]

I watched this today. And I don't think I've ever been pulled into a movie so emotionally before. The freaking wolverine had me balling! Just wow. When an actor can make you feel their pain through "acting" it's amazing. Jesus. I cried just telling my wife about the movie.

Trilogy of the film The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit and the Prequel "Amen"

[gamefan]

Looks like a compelling movie, great to see Hugh performing on a drama movie it proves he is a very versatile actor who can work on vastly different movies.

[sophiaisabelle]

This seems like the type of film that has a lot of emotional depth to it. This concept is new and refreshing. Life is unpredictable in more ways than one.

[akingturtle]

Brilliant movie. Sat and cried at the end. This movie illustrates my biggest fear for my alienated sons to ever experience this. All we can do now is pray and try our best as parents.

[hansonel]

Such a good movie as someone who came from a similar dysfunctional family. There's also an important message of generational trauma and how it can be passed on to our kids.

[kingabrahm]

I can't believe such a great movie has such a low score with critics. 10/10 I'm buying day one March 28th

The Son is an Extraordinary Film that holds up a Mirror to Parents/Families showing what really happens when a family member suffers with depression. The cast holds their own against a Stellar Performance by Hugh Jackman. CONGRATULATIONS all around to tackling a very difficult subject. If you've ever known someone who has suffered so hopelessly with depression, you know how true to life this film is. It's heartbreakingly accurate (as I unfortunately know), and worth watching as a lesson that this can happen in your family or someone you know.

[babyamom]

Hate parents (men or women) that leave their families for someone younger and then pour their love in their younger kids while forgetting their diet kids. It creates such visceral pain and rage in me.

Feel like this is An Oscar nomination performance for Hugh
