The book by Joyce Maynard was more nuanced. This was the Hollywood/Cliff Notes version.

I knew this was going to be good--look at the cast. And then to see the film unfold? You think it's going one way but it isn't, and that's the joy of watching this film. Beautiful and subtle.

Tender beautiful movie. Excellent measured performances by the three leads combined with the attention to detail for the era and sound track. Includes a surprising level of tension as the plot escalates.

"Labor Day" is cleverly written whether it is a true story or not. The cast is strong with good performances by James Brolin and Kate Winslet. The two of them were very convincing in their roles. This is definitely a step ahead of most…

A truly beautiful film, full of love, desire and courage. Love leads us places where we don't expect to appear. This movie was about it. Dramas like this is not often we see. For everyone who likes slow-motion movies and wants to…

A neat story of a "broken" Mother & Son. Who become "fixed" when an Escaped Convict comes into their lives.

While the critics gave this film mixed reviews, I tried it out, knowing Kate Winslett and Josh Brolin are two of the finest actors currently making films. I probably liked more than the critics, as it is a good mix of romance and danger.…

Call me a romantic. I loved this movie. 2016 - rewatched this movie. Good performances by both Josh Brolin and Cate Blanchett. Well worth the second watch.

A nice to movie to watch. I really enjoyed it. The acting was excellent. Looking back, I guess the story was somewhat predictable, but the direction and acting held your attention. I would definitely watch this movie again.

At times a little scary but overall a movie about something that does happen in real life. Not that people fall in love with escapees but they do fall in love with those who are incarcerated. This movie shows the side of the convict that…

I really enjoyed this movie. Acting is excellent and there are some twists in a story that could have been very mundane. Kate Winslet looks less glamorous than I have ever seen her look!
