Editor’s note: In this brief review of The Grandson (2022), the film combines drama and thriller elements with a stronger focus on atmosphere than on action. Under the guidance of director Kristóf Deák, the narrative maintains a consistent pace while painting a vivid sense of place. The performances—especially those by Gergő Blahó, Tamás Jordán, and Gábor Jászberényi—add depth to the narrative. The 1 hour and 55-minute runtime aligns well with the story’s needs. While it has its flaws, the overall strengths are compelling enough to recommend adding it to your watchlist, especially if its premise resonates with you.
