Movie Reviews

RogerEbert.com - 9/10 by Godfrey CheshireThe director has said that the “classical” (her word) style of the earlier film, with its elegant, distanced compositions and paucity of camera movement, is typical of her work; the ragged, edgy, mostly handheld approach of Don’t Call Me Son (flawlessly executed by cinematographer Barbara Alvarez) is a departure.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Robert AbeleDon’t Call Me Son, although built on conflicts that have fractured many a family, thankfully never veers into melodrama.
The Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by Jordan MintzerWorking with a terrific cast — first-timer Nero is a real discovery — Muylaert makes all the traumatic twists in the story feel both natural and almost casual at times, as if we’re watching everyday people whose lives have suddenly been transformed into a telenovela plot.
Screen International - 8/10 by Wendy IdeMuylaert handles an atmosphere charged with intensely conflicting expectations with a light touch, and sparks of humour.
The New York Times - 8/10 by Stephen HoldenThe narrowness of its perspective and its relatively brief 82-minute length disappoint. Yet Don’t Call Me Son still manages to be a fascinating, sympathetic portrait of a lost boy abruptly thrown to the wolves.
Village Voice - 7/10 by Melissa AndersonA hazy drift through vast subjects — the fluidity of adolescence and the fragility of family — Anna Muylaert's Don't Call Me Son works best when it goes small.
Slant Magazine - 6/10 by Clayton DillardWriter-director Anna Muylaert writes themes into excellent, controlled first acts that turn capricious by the third.
