Thumbsucker (2005)


Despite being in high school, Justin in a chronic thumb sucker. This small independent film follows Justin (Lou Taylor Pucci) as he ditches one emotional crutch for others in his quest to become happy with himself. While entertaining I must have missed something about this film or what it is trying to say. Is it another teen angst movie? Is it about the dangers of prescription medication? Maybe someone out there can make sense of it--drop us a comment.

3 stars out of 5
