1. Lou Pucci, being Justin Cobb, is spectacular in this film. He's not that bad ass, I mean he's not THAT good looking - he's definitely not all that. But his skinny and scrawny body makes him something, or someone. Now I want to watch more of his films. :)

2. At first, I thought Thumbsucker was a late '90s film because of it's cover. And I didn't remember this being filmed in the P... read more

To be honest, I wasn't sure about this flick but since there were a couple of interesting actors involved, I thought I should give it a try. First of all, the title is not really bad but it doesn't make the whole thing really attractive. At least, you know beforehand that you will be dealing with and for a movie dealing with teenage anxiety, I thought it was pretty solid. Above all, the characters... read more

“To be honest, I wasn't sure about this flick but since there were a couple of interesting actors involved, I thought I should give it a try.

At least, you know beforehand that you will be dealing with and for a movie dealing with teenage anxiety, I thought it was pretty solid. Above all, the characters were really interesting and the understated acting by Vincent D'Onofrio, Tilda Swinton and Vince Vaughn was really appreciated. Concerning Keanu Reeves, it was honestly a nice attempt to try something else but his character was just way underwritten and his behavior was impossible to follow. The main issue I had with this flick is that it was still rather unfocused in my opinion. I mean, you star” read more

"Tarina 17-vuotiaasta nörttipojasta Justinista, jolla olisi tavoitteita ja haluja elämänsä suhteen, mutta jonka hiekka valuu tiimalasissa ohi silmien. Tällä kun sattuu olemaan edelleen päällä eräs ikävä, itseluottamusta nakertava tapa: peukalonsa imeminen. Thumbsucker on mukavasti etenevä katsaus siihen, miten erilaisuuden ja ulkopuolisuuden tunteminen pienen pienen yhteiskunnan saneleman tabun vuoksi voi olla kohtalokasta kovin monen ihmisen elämälle.
