Labor day (2013), about a mother and son who were abandoned by their Huaxin husband (Agent Coulson). The film tells the story of the mother and son regaining their lives through the adult son. The mother is reluctant and powerless to face her lover's change of heart. The son faces the helplessness and disgust of the new family organized by his father and the mistress.

During a Labor Day holiday, a fugitive broke into their lives, and he gave the mother and son the long-lost fatherly love, a strong arm, and brought the shattered lives of the mother and son back on track.

The male protagonist Josh Brolin should be quite outstanding among the contemporary middle-aged actors in the United States. No matter the ruffian, cowboy, policeman, politician, banker, he handles all of them. Helplessly, Josh does not have the faces of Crewe, Matt Damon, Pitt and Xiao Lizi.

Kate Weislet's performance is mediocre. In recent years, her works have focused on emotionally wounded housewives, and Xiao Lizi's second collaboration after Titanic, Revolutionary Road, won the Oscar-winning Reader. , She played normally this time, and she was familiar with it. He finally performed the menopause of middle-aged women, the period of indifference and the period of love for youth.

That kid can still act. When the kid grows up, the actor is actually Toby the first Spider-Man. It's worth running for a minute.

In short, this film has no grand scenes, and no tearjerkers for life and death. There are only twists and turns of hard love and overflowing warm family affection. The hearts of ordinary people are repaired by coincidence and patient waiting.

Labor Day quotes
