Rating Summary
Independent films that tackle father and son relationships can often indulge in schmaltzy melodrama, and while Reverse the Curse isn't completely immune to this, it does an excellent job of exploring some fairly heavy subject matters through lens of traditional male stoicism without relying on tough-man clichés or messiah-like love interests. Its leads share the grounded chemistry of conflicting perspectives of father and son that many fathers will identify with from both sides. Most of all, Reverse the Curse stands as a reminder of the importance of fatherhood and forgiveness.
