Firstly Carrell and Chalamet were both excellent performance wise but the finished product just felt like it missed the mark a little. At some times it felt like it wasn't hard hitting enough and rather fluffy in parts whilst also seemingly heavily waited towards the fathers viewpoint rather than the sons in comparison to the source material. The last 15-20minutes especially missed the mark for me. Overall though it was still a captivating watch thanks to the two leads but it would be better with a greater viewpoint from both sides than predominantly the one and a lot more powerful also.
