Thumbsucker (7/10)

This movie probably should have been called "Ritalin". The film follows high schooler Justin Cobb (Loy Taylor Pucci) who ironically is also on the debate team ("Rocket Science" was the film I watched before this). He sucks his thumb as a habit when stressed. He doesn't do it in front of everyone but that doesn't mean his family doesn't know. He breaks free from it one day and everything in his life will change. It's a chaos theory of sorts (one change = many changes). The problem is that he starts to take Ritalin which is the real cause for his changes. Thumbsucking lead him there but the Ritalin is the reason for what he becomes. Mike Mills has a great idea on how to create characters and mood, I gave his latest film "Beginners" a 10/10. It's just the general story here that is not so interesting this time. It's a great debut into feature films and since this came out in 2005 we know he'll become a major talent (once gain, "Beginners").

7/10
Recommendation: If you like indie movies then I suggest it if you have the chance. Vince Vaughn and Keanu Reeves play interesting supporting roles if you like the two actors.
