Thumbsucker (2005)

Mike Mills | 92 mins | DVD | 15 / R

I had no desire to see this film, for whatever reason, until I saw the trailer two or three (or more) times at my uni’s CinSoc, after which I thought it looked like it could be quite funny and cool. So I rented it, and it disappointed me.

It’s not a new Donnie Darko, as some would have you believe; it’s not that funny either, actually, or that quirky, really. It’s not the worst thing ever, but by and large it’s best avoided.
