2/5
It's reasonable, of course, for a teenager to misunderstand his mother. But The Whore's Son doesn't comprehend her any better than her son does. Go to Full Review
Jay Weissberg Variety Jun 8, 2006
Tale of mother worship nicely sets its protags within multiple contexts as outsiders, but is kept from taking off by poor motivations and a nagging naivete in the over-innocent title character. Go to Full Review
Ella Taylor L.A. Weekly Jun 8, 2006

David Noh Film Journal International Mar 1, 2007
While poignant in the extreme, never stoops to easy sentimentality or sensationalism. Go to Full Review
