Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/10 --
You can't focus on the story, the actors, the acting, the chemistry or the dialogue. It's like there's no safe place to rest your eyes.

You wish that Reitman had brought the material under control - or better yet, let its cheap manipulations and gushy eroticism run riot.

Labor Day lacks this film-maker's usual sophisticated wit: it is bizarrely unconvincing, sugary and humourless, like a Walt Disney version of The Night of the Hunter.

Its sheer stupidity means it's as equally worth watching as his earlier, intentionally funnier ones.

The really baffling thing is that this clunker has been written, directed and produced by Jason Reitman, whose previous movies include Juno and Up in the Air. What was he thinking?

Kate Winslet can't really do any wrong from an acting standpoint and this was no exception.

[T]he progression of the film from beginning to end, and the narrative links, are always solid....Beautifully told and beautifully acted by Winslet, Brolin and Griffith.

Product Description:
Jason Reitman's LABOR DAY, adapted from the novel of the same name by Joyce Maynard, stars Kate Winslet as Adele, an emotionally shaky single mom to Henry (Gattlin Griffith). As the twosome shop for clothes Henry will wear when he begins seventh grade after the long Labor Day weekend, the boy is accosted by Frank (Josh Brolin), an escaped convict with a bleeding wound on his stomach. Frank manipulates Adele into letting him hide out at their house, and soon the seemingly scary man shows a strong domestic side and, in just a few days, develops a deep bond with both Adele and Frank. Co-starring Brooke Smith, J.K. Simmons, and Tobey Maguire, LABOR DAY screened at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival.
