I think a lot of people are probably going to hate this movie. It’s certainly heavy-handed and over the top and JGL is doing one of those “so much against type that there are times you don’t believe it” roles.

But I really enjoyed it and really this is a movie about the kid. Not JGL, not Dwight (Rainn Wilson), not Portman. The kid and what he needs and how he grows.

It’s hard to watch, there is some ick. But not “scar you for life” ick, just uncomfortable.
