Labor Day (2013)
Directed by Jason
Reitman this film based on the novel of the same name stars Kate
Winslet, Josh Brolin and Gattlin Griffith. A teenage boy and his
mother spend labor day weekend in their house with an escaped
convict.
Initially this film is
incredibly ominous but settles into a story of frustrated sexual
urges and coming of age for the protagonist. Nothing about the plot
is that impressive and in some areas you could say it's a little
worrying but it does the job. Where this film excels massively is the
direction and acting which keep the film constantly moody as well as
rife with sexual tension.
4/5
