Labor Day / (Br)

{|Jason Reitman|}'s Labor Day, adapted from the novel of the same name by Joyce Maynard, stars {|Kate Winslet|} as Adele, an emotionally shaky single mom to Henry ({|Gattlin Griffith|}). As the twosome shop for clothes Henry will wear when he begins seventh grade after the long Labor Day weekend, the boy is accosted by Frank ({|Josh Brolin|}), an escaped convict with a bleeding wound on his stomach. Frank manipulates Adele into letting him hide out at their house, and soon the seemingly scary man shows a strong domestic side and, in just a few days, develops a deep bond with both Adele and Frank. Co-starring {|Brooke Smith|}, {|J.K. Simmons|}, and {|Tobey Maguire|}, Labor Day screened at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival.
