(M) Thumbsucker - Grade: B
This is an interesting movie. It's a quirky story. It's about a guy who sucks his thumb and is embarrassed by it. His father feels it's a shameful thing to do. The interesting thing is all the socially acceptable or at least tollerable things he does to substitute for the most natural thing a person does for comfort as a child. Taking medication, getting drunk, smoking dope and engaging in sex are all substitutes for finding comfort. He feeds on these addictions that are held in higher regard that sucking your thumb. It's an interesting thing to look at and on judging how people comfort themsleves. The father in this movie (played by Vincent D'Onofrio) did an EXCELLENT job.
