“My view on suicide? Don’t do it. Yes, you were born into a heartless and very stressful society. Yes, the world’s a mess and you may feel the full impact of it. Yet, you can make a plan to exit this rat-race without ending your life. So what if people will say that you’ve become a travelling hippie, living from hand to mouth, or playing your guitar for a few coins, like I did for quite a while. That’s still so much better than killing yourself. After all, you are not trying to save your reputation, but you’re trying to preserve your own very precious life and sanity.”
— Sereno Sky, the “Lonely Traveller” novels (via hippieseurope)

The Book of Henry Review 6/10
Disclaimer: I think Maddie did a fantastic job
Alright y’all, PREPARE YOURSELVES:
The first half of this movie is absolutely trash because there is literally no plot. I was so bored. The only exciting moments were the 2 minutes that Maddie popped on the screen with her beautifully tragic and pained eyes. But then she was gone, and I was left with Naomi Watts playing her xbox and neglecting her children.
I’m 198% convinced that Xbox payed Colin to have their console in the movie. The damn Xbox got almost the same amount of screen time that Maddie did.
The movie’s attempt at showing the unhealthy co-dependent relationship Henry and his mother shared was painstakingly horrendous. I guess Colin was going for the whole
But it really ended up being more like

So alright then Henry begins his journey to death, and this is where the movie gets super sad and really good. t was so emotional. Jaeden slayed this role. He deserves all of the awards :(
So we then find out that Henry has this plan for his mom to kill the child abusing police commissioner who is doing something to Christina (we don’t know what) because Henry is 6 ft under. Alright cool. Plot has begun, action scenes commence.
BUT THEN, we get to the part where Henry’s mom decides that Henry was right and she does have to kill the police commissioner. So YADA YADA , she sets up, and right as she is about to kill him… she steps on something and trips.
……………..
YOU LITERALLY WERE SETTING UP A GUN AND THE SCOPE AND THE SILENCER BUT NOTHING TOLD YOU THAT MAYBE YOU SHOULD MOVE ALL THE SHIT OFF YOUR FLOOR THAT YOU COULD TRIP ON WHILE YOUR 45 MINUTE MURDER PLAN WAS UNFOLDING.
SO AS ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING, the talent show is taking place which leads me to the dance scene. I couldn’t tell you that it was the most amazing scene because the person filming it was having a certified seizure. The camera angles were so horrendous, I thought they had hired a 4th grader with a drone to save money. Maddie was giving us great facials and emotion but I couldn’t see any of it clearly. It was like the director told the camera guy to go to the back of the auditorium and when he tried to zoom Colin said NO! THIS IS WHAT WE NEED. EVEN THOUGH WE PAID THE CHOREOGRAPHER LETS NOT SHOW ANY OF THE BEAUTIFUL TURNS OR MOVEMENTS
So anyway fast forward, the police commissioner finally gets whats coming to him and Christina is saved. AND CHRISTINA GETS NO LINES. LIKE LITERALLY ZERO. I think she says one small thing, like thank you or something. SO, This whole entire movie is about saving this girl and she literally has a total of 8 sentences in the movie.
BRUH.
AND THEN, when the movie concludes WE STILL DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT KIND OF ABUSE SHE WAS A VICTIM OF????!!!!
Lets think back to the trailer…
THE TAG LINE OF THIS MOVIE IS “Never leave things undone“
In the end, Christina moves in with Peter and his mom, Henry is still dead, and i guess everyone is over it because the mom has two kids again. #blessed
Final Determination: the kids of this movie slayed. Colin should stick to his lil dinosaur movies and call it a day. and CHRISTINA SICKLEMAN DESERVED BETTER.
THE END
