Experimental filmmaking is almost always a crapshoot, but Christian Carion’s Mon garçon proved to be so successful that the writer and director remade his French-language thriller four years later. Pretty much the exact same thing all over again except this time in a different language, My Son turned out to be an inferior retread of an ambitious concept.
The lean 95-minute thriller finds James McAvoy driving through the Scottish Highlands when he gets a phonecall from his ex-wife, played by Claire Foy. Their 7 year-old son has vanished without a trace after disappearing from a campsite, and it quickly transpires that a kidnapping has been orchestrated that forces the distraught father to take matters into his own hands.
