“The Good Son succeeds at effectively portraying the major events in Ray Mancini’s life because it gets so close to those who played a part in its stark storylines. By coming together in search of communion and reconciliation, Mancini and the Kim’s gain the chance to heal and put the past, finally, behind them, where it belongs. This doesn’t mean leaving the memory of Duk-Koo Kim behind, but instead strengthening it and paying homage, through remembrance and understanding.” –Rafael García

"A truly riveting story from start to finish."

"Ray Mancini, at the age of 15, wrote a poem for his Dad, Lenny, on Father’s Day 1976. Entitled, I Walk in His Shadow, it was Ray’s declaration of love, a gift to the man whom he cherished and idolized most."

"...the director takes a few risks in the art of storytelling and finds ways to invite the audience inside of the film, almost as if the story were his own, or that of a close friend."
