THE BOOK OF HENRY (Theatrical Release USA 2017)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì

The Book of Henry—freshly tells an old story—interestingly explores awareness of one’s environment. The movie’s script has been well-written and the characters’ personalities are well defined. No lack here when it comes to its ability to draw an audience into its story.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Yes. This movie is a hard watch due to sad events that litter the story, but there is no lack in its ability to hold audience interest. The concluding twist is completely unexpected and grandly told. The movie easily earns its watch.
