Falling (2020)
Oscar-nominee Viggo Mortensen writes, directs, stars, and even composes the music for this family drama co-led by the great Lance Henriksen. The pair play estranged son and conservative father, the former of whom has an adoptive daughter with his husband. When the latter starts looking for a place to retire, their worlds inevitably collide.

The Times
It's a small film, with a low budget and a modest cast, but huge in scope, and unafraid to ask big questions about what it is to be human.
