A Son at Sea

About This Movie

So, 'A Son at Sea' really captures this delicate balance between personal struggle and familial duty, you know? It’s set in a bleak winter, and there's this heavy atmosphere that hangs over the characters. Clément’s journey is interesting—he's got this possessive girlfriend and a job waiting for him, but he feels this pull to help his mom after her suicide attempt. The pacing is a bit languid, which fits the slow, introspective vibe of the film. It doesn't rush through emotional beats; it really lets them sit with you. The performances are raw, adding to the film's authenticity. It’s not flashy or overly dramatic, but there’s something really distinct about how it tackles mental health and responsibility.
