A groundbreaking achievement in filmmaking where both actor and audience uncover a mystery at the same time.

When a man's only son goes missing, he travels to the town where his ex-wife lives in search of answers. To play a man whose life is clouded by mystery, McAvoy will not be given a script of dialogue.

Full Analysis at Spotamovie.com - Intro - My Son is an experimental project. As in the French project, the protagonist, James McAvoy, in the role of Edmond Murray, didn’t receive the script of the movie. Therefore, he improvised his dialogues while all the other actors knew their roles and talks. An interesting experiment. But did it work? We will tell you in the analysis section below. We can say now that My Son is not your typical thriller and that you will fall in love with the spectacular landscapes of the Highlands of Scotland. Instead, the film highlights the role of justice and a different way to approach it. We will tell you more later in our analysis. - The Story - Edmond is going back to his ex-wife because their son disappeared. The police start their investigation, discovering several details about our characters and hidden secrets. Their son vanished among all the boys; we and the police want to know why he? What happened? How Ethan’s parents are going to deal with his absence? A thriller opens a lot of questions, are we going to find our answers? Let’s dive into our analysis at https://www.spotamovie.com/my-son-movie-review-and-explanation-2021-movie/
