OUR SON
Bill Oliver; 2023; USA; 104 minutes
Gabriel (Billy Porter) and Nicky (Luke Evans) are a married couple living in New York City with their 8-year-old son, Owen. When Gabriel’s affair with another man unearths evidence of their failing relationship, they begin a formal divorce process. By far the most challenging decision they must make is who will serve as Owen’s primary guardian – and who, between the two of them, is more deserving of that responsibility.
In the modern world, where the definition of “family” has widely expanded, and a higher number of LGBTQ+ people are choosing to become parents, OUR SON addresses the ways in which gay couples fit into this changing definition of family and how becoming a queer parent can permanently alter family dynamics and relationships. Through a relatable story, strong direction, and fantastic performances from the two leads, this heartfelt comedy-drama, reminiscence of the 1979 film Kramer Vs. Kramer explores modern precedents for LGBTQ+ marriage and parenthood and the power of two father’s unconditional love.
