Review For Movie You Will Be My Son
It's an entertaining melodrama of the old school that plays out with the clockwork inevitability of a "Columbo" episode.Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post
The parallel dramas underline the universal theme of primal jealousy, as fathers confront the prospect of their sons superseding them.
Stephen Holden-New York Times
A kind of parable that is as much an effective portrait of intergenerational struggle as it is a slick psychological thriller with Shakespearian shadings.
Matthew Kassel-New York Observer
Evoking a contemporary fable but unfolding like a thriller, You Will Be My Son is most of all a devastatingly realistic depiction of the festering resentments shared between a father and son.
Eric Hynes-Time Out New York
Great talent and a monstrous ego often come as a package deal, as illustrated by this insightful, taut 2011 drama set in Bordeaux.
Andrea Gronvall-Chicago Reader
Legrand has directed with belief in what he is doing, and Niels Arestrup as Paul manages to be both strong and subtly humorous.
Stanley Kauffmann-The New Republic
Headed by a pungent patriarchal performance by Arestrup. . . in beautiful vineyards. . .how far ambition trumps family ties is unpredictable. . .into a tense tale of revenge.
Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com
Everything is explicit; no one makes an unexpected move.
Noel Murray-The Dissolve
Legrand pays homage to this talent by packaging him with a fine script, a strong supporting cast and a rich production that make this fraught wine world both thrilling and chilling.
Doris Toumarkine-Film Journal International
You Will Be My Son endlessly spins its wheels, offering up scene after scene of Deutsch screwing up, or just plain existing, and Arestrup tossing deeply disgusted glances in his direction.
Mike D'Angelo-AV Club
The tyranny of fatherhood doesn't have a more intimidating embodiment than Niels Arestrup.
Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine
For all of the director's willingness to explore his characters' unexpected depths, he's still hamstrung by his perpetually tasteful cinema-of-quality aesthetic.
Andrew Schenker-Slant Magazine
...a criss-crossing and parallel father son story with a gruff, larger-than-life performance from the great Arestrup and a highly satisfying unexpected climactic development that's weakened by the extreme difference between de Marseul pere and fils.
Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews
The story is Shakespearean in tone and mood as the elder attempts to thwart the younger and the younger fights against his father's maneuverings.
Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews
You Will Be My Son traffics in a certain type of melodrama that involves a small drop of tragedy to advance the pieces of a chess board.
Gabe Toro-The Playlist
A powerful father-son psychodrama with plenty of emotional fireworks in its depiction of the toxic power of high expectations.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice
A compelling story of family dysfunction on a French vineyard is buoyed by an Oscar-worthy performance from Niels Arestrup.
Harvey S. Karten-Compuserve
It's well acted, slips easily and satisfactorily from the realistic into the melodramatic, and for the unviticultured like myself it is highly informative.
Philip French-Observer [UK]
An acid drama which leaves a deliciously bitter aftertaste.
Rebecca Ellis-Little White Lies
