Let Go (Netflix) Review :-

When Let Go begins, it’s clear that patriarch Gustav is an absent husband and father to Stella and their two children, Anna and Manne. The disdain for Gustav only deepens as we discover he’s having an affair with a colleague, indulging in sweet nothings while showing little regard for his children’s well-being. Angela, his lover, proves to be more caring toward the kids than he is, highlighting the disarray of the marriage and the troubling mindset of men who believe they can simply move on from their families when they find someone new, often younger.

The film attempts to portray a balanced view—Stella is depicted as a control freak, unwilling to let anyone take charge without her input. She resists Gustav’s attempts to abandon their family through divorce, prompting him to label her as controlling. She insists Anna not forge her signature to go on a trip alone, again reinforcing her image as a control freak. I empathized with Stella during these scenes; being a single parent while carrying the burden of an absent partner and managing two lively kids is undeniably challenging. It’s frustrating to see her called names simply for wanting a healthy and happy family.

Netflix’s drama Let Go tests your patience at every turn. The film presents a perplexing scenario where we engage in an extensive discussion about how Stella should go out of her way to include Gustav in their children’s lives, just to prevent him from appearing completely irresponsible. I was shocked that Stella didn’t point out that, as a father, he should actively carve out his role in parenting instead of relying on her to include him. It feels reminiscent of those frustrating relationship advice articles on Reddit—it’s unbelievable and infuriating how much we coddle this manchild just to allow him the title of a sometimes-present father.

The film doesn’t adequately condemn this dynamic. While it critiques Stella for being a control freak, what choice does she really have? He consistently fails to meet any responsibilities, so someone has to step up and care for the family. Then there’s the most frustrating aspect: the film seems to offer a get-out-of-jail-free card, suggesting that unless women are in dire straits, their concerns aren’t taken seriously. This theme is introduced without much nuance, adding to the frustration. As if the subplot involving Frank from the pole dancing studio—who seems to be inappropriately interested in underage girls—wasn’t enough, we’re also asked to sympathize with Gustav and reward him for doing what he should have been doing all along.

Let Go (Netflix) Trailor :-

This film is frustrating. Few movies evoke this level of anger in me, but given that it’s written and directed by a woman, I expected more depth. What could have been a poignant and relatable story about a family at a crossroads ends up being a shallow exploration that fails to develop its characters or storyline in any meaningful way. Instead, it feels cruel and unfeeling, leaving you with a sense of dread at every turn, as if everyone in Stella’s life is just harsh and unsympathetic.

Final Thought

I’m not sure how to feel about this movie; I just know I didn’t grasp its message or purpose. It’s deeply triggering and takes a lazy approach to resolving family conflict. I wish it had been more impactful, but the cruelty displayed among the characters—especially toward Stella—is unsettling and feels quite foreign to me. The film fails to evoke genuine emotion, as it seems to want to give Gustav an easy way out, which I can’t support.
