THE UMBRELLA MAN

Cinemavixion Review

Michael Grasso's 'The Umbrella Man' plunges into the grief-stricken landscape of 1983, where Peter and Annie Brennan grapple with the profound loss of their son. The film takes a dark turn when the perceived killer's acquittal ignites Peter's obsession with conspiracy theories, particularly those surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Carter Roy, Rachael Carpani, and Abbie Cobb anchor this descent into paranoia and unresolved trauma, offering a compelling, albeit bleak, exploration of how personal tragedy can intersect with national historical enigmas.
