Watch this if you liked: “Shotgun Stories”

The Good, the Bad and the Special Son:

• The film is probably director Jeff Nichol's most complicated yet effective film to date.

• The whole plot of the film is quite odd and will definitely leave you scratching your head in puzzlement, but the mysteries of the unanswered questions are actually the beauty of the film.

• Another amazing attraction of the film is the heartfelt father and son bond portrayed by Michael Shannon and Jaeden Lieberher, which is very natural and engaging.

Trivia:

• Joel Edgerton and Adam Driver have both appeared in separate "Star Wars" films.
