You Will Be My Son

You Will Be My Son

Drama

Like a fine wine, this drama is full-bodied and complex and provides a fascinating look at the matter of the transmission of knowledge, heritage and tradition in the world of wine.


The critical consensus

Perfect for Christmas in the sense that you’ll look on your own family a little more warmly after this one.

****(*)Siobhan Synnot, The Scotsman, 02/12/2012

A dyed-in-the-wool, easy-on-the-eye example of a genre that can usefully be shorthanded ‘classy French’: big, gorgeous compositions, a gilded palette, characterful faces and not a word wasted or a scene out of place.

****(*)Hannah McGill, The List, 03/12/2012

Legrand’s rousing, full-bodied drama may be late in reaching the UK (it’s almost two years old now) but is still well worth savouring.

****(*)Anthony Quinn, The Independent, 06/12/2012

Legrand’s classy direction and refined cast ensures the unpleasant surprises the film has in store are something to savour.

****(*)Alistair Harkness, The Scotsman, 06/12/2012

Lustrous photography and a fine cast make this dark drama a compelling one.

****(*)David Parkinson, Empire Online, 07/12/2012

It's all a bit absurd, but Legrand handles the absurdity with some style, and there is something clever in making an apparently minor character responsible for a major narrative flourish. An enjoyable spectacle.

***(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 06/12/2012

It's well acted, slips easily and satisfactorily from the realistic into the melodramatic, and for the unviticultured like myself it is highly informative.

Philip French, The Observer, 09/12/2012

An acid drama which leaves a deliciously bitter aftertaste.

****(*)Rebecca Ellis, Little White Lies, 06/12/2012
