Stream It Or Skip It: ‘The Giant Falls’ on Netflix, a Maudlin Argentine Melodrama About a Long-Overdue Father-Son Reunion

Summary: "The Giant Falls" is a new Netflix drama from Argentina. It follows Boris, a boat-tour guide whose life is turned upside down when his father, Julian, suddenly appears after 28 years. Boris is very angry about his difficult childhood and even gets into a physical fight with his dad. While the movie starts off well with realistic conversations, critics say the ending feels rushed and uses extreme, unbelievable twists to force a reunion. Ultimately, reviewers suggest skipping this movie because it wastes its good potential.
