Jason Reitman’s LABOR DAY is getting some great early buzz ahead of its big release starting on Christmas Day in the US, and then expanding throughout its domestic territory up until the 31st January (we get it in the UK on the 7th Februaty), and I wouldn’t be surprised if you see this at the big awards ceremonies come next year too. We hope to get an early review of the film next month when it plays at the prestigious London Film Festival, so make sure you’re around to see what we thought then.
Synopsis: “Labor Day” centers on 13-year-old Henry Wheeler, who struggles to be the man of his house and care for his reclusive mother Adele while confronting all the pangs of adolescence. On a back-to-school shopping trip, Henry and his mother encounter Frank Chambers, a man both intimidating and clearly in need of help, who convinces them to take him into their home and later is revealed to be an escaped convict. The events of this long Labor Day weekend will shape them for the rest of their lives.
Kate Winslet, Josh Brolin, Gattlin Griffith, Tom Lipinski, Clark Gregg, Alexie Gilmore, Lucas Hedges, Brighid Fleming, James Van Der Beek, Maika Monroe, Brooke Smith, Micah Fowler and Tobey Maguire star.
