Film challenges traditional love stories
Losing love and the subsequent fear of spending life alone are devastating. The new film Labor Day, based on the 2009 novel of the same name by Joyce Maynard, brilliantly captures the downfalls and joys of love through the lens of grieving mother Adele (Kate Winslet) and her 13-year-old son Henry (Gattlin Griffith), who encounter escaped convict Frank (Josh Brolin). The film was originally released at the Telluride Film Festival last August in the noteworthy first feature slot, following in the footsteps of other successful films such as last year's Argo. Directed by Jason Reitman, Labor Day marks an interesting progression of Reitman's work after his hit films Thank You for Smoking, Up in the Air and Juno. Labor Day, set in the summer of 1987, opens with a detailed portrait into the lives of Adele and Henry, who live a quiet life after her divorce from Henry's father Gerald (Clark Gregg). Adele suffers from depression, struggling to leave the house to run errands, and her hands consistently shake in moments of anxiety.
