Critics Sentiment
Henry pushes Susan over cliff edge during confrontation
Susan must choose between saving Mark or Henry
The film peaks with the thrilling cliff confrontation but drops significantly with the controversial ending where Susan must choose which child to save.
The Good Son builds steadily from its promising setup through increasingly intense scenes showcasing Henry's psychopathic behavior. The film reaches its peak with the breathtaking cliff sequence before stumbling with a polarizing ending that divided audiences.
