Unusual - My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done review by AER
Unusual low-budget with big stars, Werner Herzog's story of a San Diego murder centres around a convincing and demented turn from Michael Shannon. Having murdered his mother, th emad man holes up in his house taking two mysterious hostages. Sadly, this suffers in the telling, with a fragmented approach that offers events in flashback and from different POVs. At times it's very abstract too. It's a stuttering film that would have benefitted from a straighter approach. I can't fault the acting and the script though. Great to see Udo Kier in a large supporting role.
