My Boy Jack

Author Rudyard Kipling and his wife search for their 17-year-old son after he goes missing during WWI. The story follows the family’s growing worry and grief, starting with the son’s attempt to join the war and continuing through the uncertainty of his disappearance.

My take

Choose this if you want a heartfelt WWI family drama with heavy emotion and strong performances; Not for you if you dislike slow, uneven pacing or want a more consistently dramatic payoff like Darkest Hour or The Gathering Storm.
