Movie Review by AJ 
April 14th, 2006
|  |
A grossly underappreciated indie, Thumbsucker belongs to the school of Wes Anderson-type quirkiness, only more grounded in reality, like what David O. Russell did with I Heart Huckabees or Flirting with Disaster. But writer-director Mills manages to take that combination and blend it into a style all his own, fresh and unique and weird and touching and funny and oh so human. With appropriately funky music provided by The Polyphonic Spree, Thumbsucker manages to expertly pick out its characters' flaws and surprisingly finds reason to celebrate them. It's one thing for a movie to make me smile, but it's another entirely for a movie to make me rejoice in the fact that, yes, I am a gloriously flawed human being.
