bricslove Well the movie was no less a tale than those Watts's character writes. I love such tales. More a drama than a thriller, the level of genius of the elder son was a bit over the top... but this was more than its parts and overall a nice ride.And I just love Naomi Watts. The kids' performances were good, too. And of course the bad wolf. But Watts... Great choice, just great.I can go so far as to say this is a family flick.Don't watch the movie and then rate it low just because it's not the unpredictable thriller riddled with self-defeating twist bombs that you were wanting to watch. Just try other movies because this movie is basically drama.

jtindahouse I have a soft spot for films that bring emotion out of me. Sometimes I think I give films too much credit for doing this (basically if I cry then I deem it a good film). But at the end of the day isn't that what films set out to do, bring emotion out of their audience? Of course it doesn't always have to be sadness, but sadness is probably the easiest one to notice and remember. 'The Book of Henry' is a very sad film in multiple spots. It knows how to tug at your heart-strings and does so repeatedly. But there's more to it than that.The key to pulling off a movie like this is to sell the characters. The three main characters (the mother and her two sons) are all very strong characters. They are loveable and you are rooting for them right from the beginning. The other characters do suffer a little bit with a lack of screen time and little effort put into letting the audience get to know their side of the story. The film takes a solid 50 minutes really just setting up the characters and putting the predicament they will face into place. This is partly why the film is so strong, but it does also leave the second half of the film feeling a little rushed and ending quite abruptly.It also gets a little odd at one point towards the end with the road these characters appear to be choosing to go down. I kept thinking to myself that surely this isn't the way things are going to go down. It finds a nice way to dodge around this though and things play out in a more reasonable manner. I really enjoyed 'The Book of Henry' and while it certainly is not without its faults, I think it is definitely worth a watch. Bring the tissues though.
