it's easy to point out a habit as obvious as smoking a cigarette. plus, the shame attached to smoking is relatively new. i think childhood habits have always led to embarrassment. nail biting was my cross to bear. 'THUMBSUCKER' deals with a habit most kids shed before they learn how to tie their shoes.
the teen of the story is bright and stressed, dealing with a home life that is less than ideal. the film is a sensitive and artistic peek into habits and hormones, parents and pressures. keanu reeves is an added treat as the boy's transcendental dentist.
