The Bachelors

A slight film about a grieving dad and his son after the woman in their life passed on. The way they deal with their grief and it's nicely tied up in the end.

This movie is a perfect example of how it's important to talk it out with your closed ones to let them know your feelings before it gets too late. While Bill gets professional help to cope with his wife's death, Wes keeps avoiding his emotions.

Great plot, simple production yet hugely effective. The father moves with his son to start a new life after the mother dies.

This is a gem of a little movie. Solid performances all around and beautifully shot with deeply sad but relatable subjects.

In a nutshell, the film tells the story about a teacher, after the death of his wife, and his son that move to a new city, where emotional connections with two women help them begin to heal. During 2020 pandemic and less than two years after I watched "The Bachelors" for the 1st time, I realized (after my wife commented it) that I (we) already watched it, but I completely forget it, meaning, it's not that memorable (at least for me) regardless it is a solid dramedy with maybe shallow attempt at exploring themes of depression and mental illness.

A father needs a son as much or maybe more than a son needs a father. Macho aside ...

As the movie started I was expecting a light rom com about overcoming loss. What I got was a coming of age story mixed with gut wrenching moments about mental illness, depression and how to deal with loss.

His wife, love of his life, died recently only 61 days after she was diagnosed. No longer able to stay in their home he and his high school son move to the L.
