Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Stephen Holden, New York Times: The parallel dramas underline the universal theme of primal jealousy, as fathers confront the prospect of their sons superseding them. Read more
Matthew Kassel, New York Observer: A kind of parable that is as much an effective portrait of intergenerational struggle as it is a slick psychological thriller with Shakespearian shadings. Read more
Mike D'Angelo, AV Club: You Will Be My Son endlessly spins its wheels, offering up scene after scene of Deutsch screwing up, or just plain existing, and Arestrup tossing deeply disgusted glances in his direction. Read more
Peter Keough, Boston Globe: Gilles Legrand's draggy melodrama about miserable characters who persist in their folly and never wise up is strictly vin ordinaire. Read more
Andrea Gronvall, Chicago Reader: Great talent and a monstrous ego often come as a package deal, as illustrated by this insightful, taut 2011 drama set in Bordeaux. Read more
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter: Niels Arestrup delivers an award-caliber turn as a malevolent patriarch in this gripping melodrama. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: A strongly acted, character-driven melodrama, concerned with the dynamics of family in general and father-son issues in particular, it presents situations so emotionally supercharged that the whole story could have come straight out of Balzac. Read more
Stanley Kauffmann, The New Republic: Legrand has directed with belief in what he is doing, and Niels Arestrup as Paul manages to be both strong and subtly humorous. Read more
Farran Smith Nehme, New York Post: It's an entertaining melodrama of the old school that plays out with the clockwork inevitability of a "Columbo" episode. Read more
Christy Lemire, RogerEbert.com: French director and co-writer Gilles Legrand shows great mastery of tone and pacing in his third feature, which begins life as a domestic drama set at a family-owned vineyard and slowly morphs into a tense thriller. Read more
G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle: How much you enjoy "You Will Be My Son" depends on how much you can take an unbearable, arrogant jerk as your lead character. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Mystery lovers will delight in the sophisticated murder scheme, oenophiles will love the Wine Expo atmosphere, and admirers of restrained menace will lose themselves in the icy pools of Arestrup's eyes. Read more
