Movie Reviews

RogerEbert.com - 9/10 by Christy LemireFrench director and co-writer Gilles Legrand shows great mastery of tone and pacing in his third feature, which begins life as a domestic drama set at a family-owned vineyard and slowly morphs into a tense thriller.
The New Republic - 8/10 by Stanley KauffmannLegrand has directed with belief in what he is doing, and Niels Arestrup as Paul manages to be both strong and subtly humorous.
Empire Magazine - 8/10 by David ParkinsonLustrous photography and a fine cast make this dark drama a compelling one.
Observer (UK) - 8/10 by Philip FrenchIt's well acted, slips easily and satisfactorily from the realistic into the melodramatic, and for the unviticultured like myself it is highly informative.
Financial Times - 8/10 by Nigel AndrewsIt all ends in tears, bouquet'd with irony, wisdom and bleak comedy.
CineVue - 8/10 by Joseph WalshYou Will Be My Son is the sort of dark and twisted familial drama that only the French seem capable of fully realising.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 8/10 by Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)It's both an entertaining drama and a snappy little postcard of France.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kenneth TuranA strongly acted, character-driven melodrama, concerned with the dynamics of family in general and father-son issues in particular, it presents situations so emotionally supercharged that the whole story could have come straight out of Balzac.
Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by Frank ScheckThe film overcomes its schematic plot elements with finely observed characterizations and rich dialogue.
Time Out - 8/10 by Eric HynesIt’s a human-size tragedy, one that shows how deadening it can be to remain subject to those who give us life.
