The Beaver* (12A)

US 2010. Summit Entertainment/Participant Media/Imagenation Abu Dhabi FZ/Anonymous Content. 91m. ws

A chronically depressive father finds a way out by talking through a glove puppet.
Darkly comic drama with timing that unfortunately matched that of its star's own personal disintegration; as a film a little uncertain of its identity (like the main character), unwisely "opening out" the subject when the Beaver becomes a nationwide success, but performances are generally good and the choice of such a project is daring.
