“Why are you doing this? You’re destroying everything that we built together?” Vertical has revealed the official trailer for an indie custody drama titled Our Son, from director Bill Oliver. This initially premiered at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year, and it also played at the New Hampshire Film Festival this fall. Billy Porter stars as Gabriel, an aspiring artist struggling to find creative & personal spark while caring for the young son he shares with his ambitious partner, Nicky, co-starring Luke Evans. Stress and anxiety flare as their relationship gets to an unrepairable place, forcing the couple to head for a divorce. Now the two must navigate the unenviable position of revealing the news to shared friends & family. Thus begins the journey to find themselves and support their son. The film’s cast also includes Robin Weigert, Andrew Rannells, Isaac Powell, Kate Burton, and Phylicia Rashad. So this is pretty much a repeat of Noah Baumbach’s Marriage Story but with a gay couple instead. Doesn’t look bad, and doesn’t look good.
Here’s the first official trailer for Bill Oliver’s film Our Son, direct from Vertical’s YouTube:
Nicky (Luke Evans), a book publisher devoted to his work, lives with his husband Gabriel (Billy Porter), former actor/stay-at-home dad, and their 8-year-old son Owen. Gabriel loves Owen more than anything; Nicky loves Gabriel more than anything… Despite appearances, Gabriel has been dissatisfied with their marriage and files for divorce, leading to a custody battle forcing both of them to confront the changing reality of their love for each other and for their son. Our Son is directed by American writer / filmmaker Bill Oliver, making his second feature after directing Jonathan previously, plus a few other shorts. The screenplay is written by Peter Nickowitz and Bill Oliver. Produced by Fernando Loureiro and Eric Binns. This initially premiered at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year. Vertical will debut Oliver’s Our Son in select US theaters on December 8th, 2023, then on VOD starting December 15th coming soon.
