Thumbsucker is not a movie without flaws, but it's hard not to appreciate the way it deftly balances off beat humor with a fascinating portrayal of how growing up both odd and normal can be. Although the movie was mostly filmed in Washington County, which isn't really my part of town, I did recognize a few locations like the Washington Square Mall. Even if it isn't exactly a display of the film's strengths, I've always found that being able to spot places you go to in films can be quite interesting. However, it wasn't nearly as compelling as the lead character, Justin Cobb (Lou Pucci in a strong, subtle performance), as he goes through many surprisingly plausible situations. With a habit of sucking his thumb up until the age of 17, the film centers on his many trials looking for magic answers to solve all of his problems. The way in which one subtly comes to terms with this is what makes the film so insightful. Everyone is flawed, and it's the flaws that people have which make us who we are. Peppered by strong supporting work all around, Thumbsucker is a clever, heartfelt, and insightful look at teenage and family life. A-

Hmmm...this one's playing at my local specialty theater, and I was considering seeing it. It looks kinda quirky and interesting.
