Synopsis

An honest and funny look at the struggles of people who feel deeply flawed, both those in youth and middle age. They yearn to be anything but their real selves with their real fears and doubts. Instead, they want to be "normal." They look for magic answers to fix themselves, only to realize that they cannot be someone else, that "normal" does not exist, and that their flaws are what make them human and loveable. (Sony Pictures Classics)

Reviews

"Quiet, quirky gem."

   - Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

"Supremely enjoyable."

   - Melissa Levine, Dallas Observer

"It feels fresh, almost improvised, mainly because Mills doesn't drive his scenes toward an obvious resolution."

   - David Denby, The New Yorker

"Benefits from a goofy yet incisive sense of humor and some extremely strong performances."

   - Bob Westal, Film Threat

"One of the wonderful things about Thumbsucker is that, unlike so many movies in which a character changes in order to propel the plot forward, this one stops to follow up on the consequences of those changes."

   - Ken Tucker, New York Magazine
