Review of Labor Day (2013) by Horizonbts — 20 Mar 2015

This is one of those movies that you think is just going to be OK, then all of a sudden your in really deep and realize that this is one of the best movies you have seen in a long time! I think this is Kate Winslet's best work since Titanic who plays the scarred mother, and certainly one of Josh Brolin's better movies although he was very good in "No Country for Old Men".

Even Gattlin Griffith who plays the son and has a coming of age role, puts in a spectacular performance, you might have remembered him as the son in "Changeling". This movie makes some good points that people may not at all be who you think they are, and that things on the surface may not always be as they seem.

If your looking for a movie that pulls you in and fires on a lot of emotions, and truly one that will make an impression, this movie could do it. I certainly will buy this one and perhaps just pull it out to watch every Labor Day, why not as we have all those special movies for other occasions! This movie certainly fits into that category (special).
