The Son is a 2022 drama film directed by Florian Zeller from a screenplay written by himself and Christopher Hampton. It is based on Zeller's 2018 stage play of the same name and serves as a prequel to 2020's The Father. The film stars Hugh Jackman, Laura Dern, Vanessa Kirby, Zen McGrath, Hugh Quarshie, and Anthony Hopkins.
The Son had its world premiere at the 79th Venice International Film Festival on 7 September 2022, and was released for a limited one-week theatrical run in New York City and Los Angeles on 25 November 2022, before a wide release in the United States on 20 January 2023, by Sony Pictures Classics. In contrast to the critical acclaim received by The Father, the film received negative reviews from most critics, who praised the performances of Jackman, Dern, and Hopkins, but criticized the screenplay, direction, and McGrath's performance. At the 80th Golden Globe Awards, Jackman was nominated for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for his performance.
