Peter (Jackman)
has a new baby with Beth (Kirby). His ex-wife Kate (Dern) shows up to inform him
that their teen-age son Nicholas (McGrath) is in big trouble. Peter goes to see
him. Nicholas has serious mental problems. None of the three adults know how to
deal with it.
It’s an important subject and the actors struggle valiantly with the film. It doesn’t always work but as a follow-up to the director’s The Father (with Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Coleman) it makes sense. It’s worth seeing.
