Perdido

Filmová výzva v karanténě - oblíbené herečky, Mélanie Laurent. Jde především o strhující a zoufalý boj s časem Guillauma Caneta. Mélanie Laurent mu však ve vedlejší roli zdatně sekunduje. Každý rodič musí jednání Guillaumovy postavy pochopit a věřím, že by jednal úplně stejně. Když jde o ztracené dítě, nelze hledět na nic jiného než na záchranu. Thriller s dobrým tempem a kratší stopáží, poslední třetina trochu pokulhává, ale výsledný dojem pozitivní. (15.10.2020)

I have to admit, at times I was almost breathless with tension as the main character frantically searched for his son. Worse, I couldn't identify with his persistence and escalating aggression during the search for him. It's a shame that the reason for the abduction wasn't explained; it made the whole thing seem like the writers didn't know where they were going with it. And the almost happy ending didn't impress me either. (60%) (13.06.2020)

My Son is unintentionally funny trash with dubious morals masquerading as a psychological drama. Characters on the verge of a nervous breakdown are shown only through crying, screaming or wanting to kill someone. When you need some sort of information, use brutal violence. When you want to get a loved one (or two) back, kill a few people. Any instalment of the Taken series is more entertaining and more honest. The second star was added for the one (final) scene in which Mélanie Laurent is not hysterical and for Canet maniacally screaming “’I’m going to bake your leg!” 35% (23.11.2017)
