Film Review: The Unbreakable Boy The Unbreakable Boy is one of those rare films that truly touches your heart. It’s such a sweet and uplifting story that manages to be both heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time. From start to finish, it captures what it really means to love unconditionally and to keep going even when life feels impossible. The film follows a family doing their best to raise their eldest son, who lives with brittle bone disease and autism. You can feel the weight of their challenges, but also the joy that their son brings into their lives. The story doesn’t shy away from showing the hard parts — the sleepless nights, the constant worry, and the emotional toll that comes with trying to be strong all the time. What I really appreciated is how honestly the film deals with parenthood. The father struggles deeply, turning to drinking as a way to cope with everything he’s feeling, while the mother quietly battles what seems like postpartum depression. You can see the cracks forming, but you can also see the love that keeps them holding on. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s portrayed with such care and respect that it never feels overdone or manipulative. The acting is absolutely phenomenal. Every performance feels genuine — you can sense the pain, the frustration, and the fierce love this family shares. The chemistry between the cast makes you believe you’re watching a real family trying to navigate life’s hardest moments. What makes The Unbreakable Boy so special is the way it balances the heartbreak with hope. It’s not just a story about struggle — it’s about resilience, about choosing love even when it hurts, and about finding joy in the smallest moments. It reminds you that being “unbreakable” doesn’t mean you never fall apart — it means you keep getting back up, again and again. Hats off to the filmmakers and actors for approaching such sensitive topics — disability, mental health, and family struggles — with so much compassion and authenticity. The Unbreakable Boy is a beautiful reminder that love really can carry us through anything.

If you want a cheap laugh, then this film is for you.. I won’t lie I was really looking forward to watching it from just the trailer, but I got round to watching it today and oh my God I’m so disappointed… the script was bad. The acting was bad. Everything was bad.

Only started watching it not that long ago and I’m obsessed with it. Now I’m not normally into American sitcom shows but I just love Abbott elementary

Absolutely Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda in this movie they were brilliant together 💕

I’m sorry but what a load of crap. The acting was so bad.
