American Son's reviews
Media reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
From its own room-with-couch setting to more comfortable ones across America, the picture's intimate intensity should translate very well.
Variety
'American Son' has a lot to say that?s worth hearing, but the translation to another medium primarily underlines that this one doesn?t ideally serve the playwright?s message.
The New Yorker
'American Son' scores with such emotional details. The problem is that these details are all the film has.
Indiewire
The lack of sophistication with which each character is depicted makes it difficult for audiences to root for, or be empathetic towards any of them
The Guardian
Kerry Washington is a great performer normally, an award-winner recently as Anita Hill in the TV play Confirmation. But this material is not worthy of her.
