Henry Poole is Here

Tweet

I recently watched the limited-release movie Henry Poole is Here starring Luke Wilson. The plot involves a man about to die from a disease. He buys a house close to the place where he grew up in, determined to spend his last days sulking and drinking alone. His plans to be left alone all changes when a stain on the outside wall of his new house looks like an image of Jesus Christ, which draws the attention of the neighbors and they start coming over to the house. I won't spoil the movie by going into the details but this film is really beautiful. The best part is that it leaves you to think about yourself and the implications on your life by not tying up all the loose ends at the ending and leaves you to draw your own conclusions, which is a mark of a great movie. Much to my dismay, a lot of reviews online were mostly negative. If you've seen the film, I'd like to here what you think of it.
