The son begins to tell a sympathetic detective his life story, and we see it in carefully constructed flashback segments going back to the boy's conception and birth. As a boy, as a teenager and then as a man, his life intersects with that of his father, with cruel twists. Obviously, there is poetic licence taken here. Flawless acting brings each character to life, setting their personalities in stark relief, spilling their psychological guts out on the screen for all to see. For a film that charts waters this murky and forbidding, Character is surprisingly buoyant.
Character has character.
