his poignant drama is practically a remake of Kramer vs Kramer from 1979 – though this time with two divorcing New York-based dads fighting for custody of their kid instead of K, Our Son is a bit soapy and middlebrow, but impeccably performed all-round, led by a trio of terrific turns from Luke Evans andThe script, co-written by Peter Nickowitz and director Bill Oliver, delivers an acute, subtly shaded group portrait of current gay lifestyles, from married-with-children types like Nicky and...
‘Those Friends people make $100m a year! I’m getting six-cent cheques! It’s not OK!’: Billy Porter on race, recognition and the Middle EastIn a very believable dynamic, Gabriel isn’t quite sure why he’s fallen out of love with Nicky, but the shift in feeling is irreparable and once spoken there’s no going back. The goal is to manage the separation, divorce and custody decision with a minimum of damage to Owen, a sensitive kid who is nevertheless more resilient than he seems.

All the characters are rounded, fallible and likable in equal measure, and even if the score is a bit syrupy, it’s a pleasant, engaging watch.
