Puberty hits Superman hard


Brightburn (2019)

Directed by Mark & Brian Gunn this film stars Elizabeth Banks, David Denman and Jackson A. Dunn. As their adopted son turns twelve things get out of hand for a couple that live on a farm.

There is a lot of promise in this dark look at the Superman origin story but the film never quite fulfils the potential. No doubt this an interesting watch, especially if you go into it blind, but I think the film needed a little more in the first act to really set things up. Certainly not something I expected to see on the big screen.

3/5
