Movie review: Thumbsucker

Justin Cobb sucks his thumb. We all did it, but he's 17. It's a secret he can tell no-one and a crutch that impedes his every stride in life. He wants to change, he wants to give it up, if only he had the help of a hippie dentist who can hypnotize him...

I quite enjoyed the movie although it's quite a bit deeper than the trailers would lead one to believe. It's about addiction, the need to fit in, the need to be somebody, and being careful of what you wish for. Because sometimes as bad as things may seem, it can always be worse.

Thumbsucker 9/13
