The Father was really a beautiful film, and I love Hugh Jackman, so this is already one of my most anticipated films for next year and I hope it gets to be an Oscar contender 😁

This year is gonna be so competitive at the Oscars. It's gonna be between Hugh Jackman and Brendan Fraser with Leo in the mix and who knows who else.

The next movie is obviously The Holy Spirit right?

This is going to be phenomenal.

HR (Hugh outstanding, movie not so much): ‘The Son’ Review: Hugh Jackman in Florian Zeller’s Depression Drama – The Hollywood Reporter

Very mixed.

[filmlover]

More reviews are coming in and so far it doesn't look very promising at all. C from Indiewire, B- from The Playlist, 2/5 from Telegraph. Good for studio fare that the herd is already thinning out, I suppose (since this will presumably make no money).

[SLAM!]

It sounds like Hugh Jackman may still be a factor for Best Actor since many critics are saying he’s the best part of the film. The performances by McGrath and Dern are divisive, with one critic saying that Kirby is underutilized. The film still benefits from being one of Sony Pictures Classics’ only films they can push this season besides Living and a handful of documentaries. It doesn’t look completely dead yet but Best Picture odds and it’s Adapted Screenplay winning odds have both taken a hit.

I read up on the ending and yeah I can see why the reviews are like they are. Comically manipulative.
