#MattsMovieMania Labor Day

Depressed single mom Adele and her son Henry offer a wounded, fearsome man a ride. As police search town for the escaped convict, the mother and son gradually learn his true story as their options become increasingly limited.

A story of love, passion, and betrayal as seen through the eyes of a teenage boy and the man he later becomes. Henry looks back on his fateful 13th year, when he lived with his reclusive divorced mother. At the start of Labor Day weekend, while on a rare excursion to town, Henry and his mother encounter an injured man who asks for refuge in their home. Over the course of the next four days, they're taken 'hostage' by a man who ultimately captures them, body and soul.

"Labor Day is an admittedly strange hybrid. Rarely have I seen such outrageous plot points executed with such lovely grace." -Richard Roeper

"There's a certain elegant simplicity to the movie's execution that maintains a spirit of familiarity but also keeps the material afloat." -Eric Kohn
