Critic Reviews

It's likely that only Herzog would dare to, and succeed at, resolving this singular cinematic object by contemplating the fate of an abandoned basketball.Full Review

Keith Uhlich
Time Out New York

Confounds all convention and denies all expected pleasures, providing instead the delight of watching Herzog feed the police hostage formula into the Mixmaster of his imagination.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

As nutty as you'd expect when two of our most eccentric auteurs join forces.Full Review

New York Post

Noel Murray
The Onion (A.V. Club)

If someone else had made "My Son," it would be just another crime thriller based on a true story. But with Werner Herzog behind the camera, it's a head-scratcher from start to finish.Full Review
