Review of Henry Poole Is Here (2008) by Tim D — 10 May 2009

This movie has its ups and downs. It has a great premise. Wilson plays a bitter man that wants to move to a nowhere town and just be alone, for reasons you know are coming. But unfortunately, he doesn't get that when some religious people think his wall is blessed.

My problem with this was that there was no outside explanation to some parts of the movie outside of a miracle. Miracles are fine to have in movies, but a logical explanation would've been fine too to keep Wilson's character in doubt.

And some scenes like the sewer scene just seemed forced.
