The Book of Henry tells the story of single mother Susan Carpenter (Naomi Watts) raising two boys, one of whom is a genius.
After she discovers a book written by her son, Peter (Jacob Tremblay – Room), containing a plan to right a terrible wrong happening next door, she attempts to execute the plan, and in the process discovers new strength as a parent.
Directed by Colin Trevorrow (Jurassic World), from a screenplay by Gregg Hurwitz, and also starring Sarah Silverman, Maddie Ziegler and Lee Pace (The Hobbit Trilogy), this looks a very drippy drama and really not my bag at all. If it’s yours, then it’s due out in the US on June 16th, but as of yet there’s no UK release date. Are you looking forward to it?
