Labor Day
The lives of two tormented souls (Josh Brolin as an escaped convict and Kate Winslet as a depressed reclusive mother) cross paths on a warm Labor Day weekend in 1987 as recounted the then adolescent son trying to be the man of the house. Two mysterious pasts are slowly revealed in flash back scenes as audiences wonder is it hostage taking or harboring a fugitive. Brolin and Winslet give terrific performances. J.K. Simmons, James Van Der Beek, and Tobey Maguire have very minor roles. If you are a romantic at heart, you may enjoy this sad love story. If not, you may be skeptical about the whirlwind romance.
Alien gives it 3 ½ "easy as pie" stars out of 4.
