Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAs with Guillaume Canet in the original film, Mon garçon (2017), James McAvoy was not given a script and had to improvise all of his dialogue. All other actors knew the script and story, and McAvoy's reaction to the other actor's revelations were genuine. This was done to capture the authentic shock and surprise a parent would experience when dealing with a traumatic event.
- GoofsAt one point, Inspector Roy tells Edmond that the case has been taken over by London. In reality, Scotland and England are completely separate legal jurisdictions, and police in London would have no involvement in or ability to assume control of a case taking place in Scotland.
- Quotes
Edmond Murray: I know I'm a bad dad. I know I'm never here. I know he can't rely on me. But it's not my fault he's gone missing, darling.
Featured review
It's a movie that may hold promise, but eventually falls.
The movie starts well, with a lot of intrigue and suspense, but then it becomes very absurd due to the conveniences of the story, very predictable and because the way things are resolved so absurdly and easily. There is a lack of character development as you can't empathize with them or the situations they go through, it seems that the characters don't learn anything after going through very difficult situations, the acting doesn't help much either as at a certain point they become exaggerated and very dramatic. There is also no good development of the antagonists, and the constant camera blurs ruin this movie more. The locations where it was filmed are very beautiful, it is understood that several scenes are very limited or fall short due to the low budget, the story is not very original, but I think that the important thing is its execution, something that this film does not fully achieve.
This movie builds a good mystery but it gets ruined as the plot progresses and when its twist appears, giving way to a not-so-exciting and predictable ending, turning this movie into something very generic and without much innovation.
