Entertainment Reviews:
Muylaert prefers to hew to a handheld aesthetic of small, pressurized moments that play elements against each other....She’s sympathetic to all sides, which is refreshing, and the performances thrive in this tightly knit, detailed universe of confusion.

Rating: B --
Imagine the shock, imagine the adjustment, imagine not wanting to adjust. "Don't Call Me Son" imagines all that and more while calling into question the nature of bonding, blood and close ties.

It revs up, makes its spirited mess of issues, maintains its complicated humanity, then ends. That may not make it everybody's cup of tea, but hey, Muylaert seems to be saying, what movie or person is?

Anna Muylaert's new film, Don't Call Me Son, is a story of both gender and sexual confusion, but Muylaert's protagonist isn't the one who's confused.

Paste Magazine
The narrowness of its perspective and its relatively brief 82-minute length disappoint. Yet "Don't Call Me Son" still manages to be a fascinating, sympathetic portrait of a lost boy abruptly thrown to the wolves.

Don't Call Me Son was the debut of Brazilian actor Naomi Nero, his interpretation gives Pierre all what the character in this conflict needs: inner passion, anger, grief; but mostly hope, strength and perseverance.

Product Description:
Brazilian director Anna Muylaert helmed this drama about a 17-year-old boy named Pierre (Naomi Nero) who is only just beginning to figure out his gender identity when he learns that Aracy, the woman he believed to be his mother, actually abducted him from a hospital when he was a newborn. Soon, Aracy is arrested and Pierre meets his biological parents, a wealthy couple who have been trying to track him down for nearly two decades. Daniela Nefussi takes on dual roles, playing both Aracy and Pierre's biological mother, Gloria.
