    Brilliant!

    by sylvia solo

    If anyone coul depict the hellish decent into mental illness, it would be Mel! Say what you want about him, but the man is brilliant both as an actor and a director/producer.... I noticed one reviewer said the movie was too "depressing"...HELLLLLLLOOOOO, it's about mental illness....nothing to happy about that but it was portrayed so sensitively, esp by Jodi Foster who plays the long suffering wife.... I can only say GO SEE IT! IMHO

    The Beaver

    by barbaram3

    The movie was good, however it was not a movie you want to go to see when you are looking for something to "lift your spirits". It deals with depression and the effect it has on the lives of all it touches, though it does not end with you "in the dumps".

    Better than I expceted

    by DXNYLVR

    We really liked this movie. It looked riduculous in the previews but it truly was heartwarming and I thought he acting was superb. Mel Gibson has a rugged personal life but the man can act. Jody Foster was great and I thought the kid who played Porter was excellent. Great movie and I don't know why it's not playing at more mainstream theaters.

    The Beaver

    This is without question one of Mel Gibsons finest movies to date. I was saddened to see that I was one of only four people in the theatre during the showing. The public is in danger of allowing the recent press regarding Mr. Gibson to deprive them of an outstanding film about the effects and outcome of mental illness on a large spectrum of people.This movie had an optimistic conclusion- an unexpected conclusion, but optimistic none the less. I not only enjoyed this movie, but called my daughter in Boston to make sure she saw this feature. She is going to see it today with her friends on my recommendation. Fantastic film! I surely hope that Mr. Gibson and Ms. Foster continue the creative partnership. This film was A+.

    Exceeded expectation

    by whipporwilltoo

    I thought everything about this movie was fabulous - the story, the acting and everything. Mel Gibson is truly a great actor as is Jody Foster.
