The main problem is that it tries to be many different movies. Of course, you
can make a movie that is about a father-son relationship, a hot shot big city lawyer back in small town he left, a romance, a divorce, mortality, mourning, abuse, on and on, at the same time. But, you better have a hell of a screenplay.
The Judge touches base on all kinds of themes without giving them the necessary respect. It is very tone deaf to some of these issues, although not all. The creators overreached their abilities.
