End of Sentence

End of sentence is the story of an attempt at reconciliation between father and son. It's a long road for both of them and you don't really know how it's going to turn out. This is well directed. The acting is first class. Logan Lerman shows his depth here more than anything I've seen to date. The cinematography is going to be seen to be enjoyed.

Heartfelt film about forgiveness and the bonds of parenthood. Touching performances are let down by some half baked plot lines and interludes on the journey. But recommended nevertheless especially for an absolutely gorgeous pub singalong scene.

Zero faults with the acting here. It's rich in real-feeling characters from beginning to end. And speaking of ends, this one ends with a dissipated whisper. It almost feels like they ran out. Of something. Money? Time? Creativity? It's the writing. It should and could have been better. Tighter. It could have been more affecting, without being manipulative, nor obvious. What did it need most? Humor. Not so much humor that it became a comedy, but enough humor that it grabbed my heart. Nice irish scenery.

An estranged father and son (from the US) take a trip to scatter the mother's ashes in Ireland. Fairly unexceptional. Not quite emotional enough, not interesting enough, script not that strong. It's okay if at a loose end but there is better out there.

I came across this movie by accident. When I saw the lead actor Logan Lerman, in this movie, he looked so familiar. I later realized, he was in the movie Percy Jackson. The movie centers around a estranged father and son. They both travel to Ireland to take the ashes of their mother and wife to her native country. As the movie continues, both the father and son end by showing their love for one another because they only have each other. The movie made me cry at times and the father was a timid and nice person that let people push him around in life.

Road trip movies are difficult to pull off because it's so easy for them to be too familiar and generic. While there are some parts in End of Sentence that feel familiar, what sets it apart is how incredible John Hawkes and Logan Lerman are. They are two of the most underrated actors working right now and they both give emotionally impactful performances. Plus, this film is full of beautiful scenery and has a genuinely emotionally resonant story. Overall, a good film.

Basically a story about the relationship between son and father with some unbelieable parts.
