I admit, there's absolutely no way I'd consider seeing this film in the theater on my own. I likely wouldn't even recall its release. And yet, I do try to expand my horizons at film festivals. I've seen some interesting documentaries this way. I've tolerated some decent comedies. But I'd never before seen The Beaver.
Overall, despite my best expectations, this film was really good. I don't know how much of that was the script, Jodie Foster's directing, or Mel Gibson's performance, but I came away both attached to and satisfied by the story. Well done.
The Beaver
2011, 90 minutes, directed by Jodie Foster
