Christopher Zalla’s feature film debut is a well-made and dark story of illegal immigration. Our Father is about vulnerability and injustice, desperation and extreme choices. Pedro is a Mexican who goes to New York to find his father, but along the way he meets Juan, a petty criminal who steals his identity and visits his father pretending to be Pedro. Vulnerable and alone, Pedro must try to find his father and convince him that he is the real son. Zalles has stated that he wanted to make a film that would surprise the audience and Our Father’s strength is precisely in its ability to take the viewer to unexpected places – an originality that was rewarded with Dramatic Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. red.

Denne likte jeg veldig godt. Veldig trist.
