Review of Demolition (2016) by Acacia — 12 Apr 2016

I really liked this movie. Some may find it weird, but, it just goes to show the grieving process is not the same for everyone. Jake Gyllenhaal is very good as Davis whose wife has just been killed in a car accident.

While in the ICU, Davis loses monet in a vending machine. He writes a long, cathartic letter to the vending company. It feels good to write about his feelings, so he keeps writing more letters. The customer service rep (Naomi Watt) is intrigued.

They meet and become friends. Davis befriends her troubled teen son, brilliantly played by Judah Lewis. Davis's life spirals downward and he is out of control except for a new found fondness for taking things apart.

This movie is a bit weird a d may not be for everybody. I found it very entertaining and enjoyed the characters and their interaction. I recommend it.
