Visual Parables
“I confess: I expected Let Me Have My Son to be in the same vein as some inspirational Lifetime Original movie... But when Krusen’s character begins to navigate the Kafkaesque hospital halls and bureaucracy to retrieve his son, the film develops a nightmarish weirdness that feels more akin to David Lynch.”
