Go on, My Son

About This Movie

So, 'Go on, My Son' from '86 is quite a unique piece. The film dives into a father-son relationship, exploring themes of loss and the weight of expectations. It’s got this slow, almost meditative pace that lets you soak in the atmosphere. The performances are raw—there’s a certain honesty that draws you in. You kind of feel the tension building without it being overly dramatic. Practical effects are minimal, but they serve the story well, grounding it in a more realistic world. It’s not flashy, but there’s something about its simplicity that really resonates. Definitely a good one for those who appreciate deeper character studies rather than surface-level action.

Character-driven narrative · Subtle emotional depth · Interesting exploration of familial bonds
