Labor Day (2013 Jason Reitman)

Reitman's script is based on Joyce Maynard (who at age 18 had affair with J.D. Salinger) book of the same name. Kate Winslet, Josh Brolin, Gattlin Griffith, Clark Gregg, J.K. Simmons. It's extremely well cut by Dana Glauberman (using some nice dissolves), and we were shocked when the meaning of the flashbacks became clear; nicely shot by Eric Steelberg and scored by Rolfe Kent, exactly the same team in fact as Up In the Air.

We were feeling quite sick with dread, especially when Gattlin's new girlfriend evokes the memory of Bonnie and Clyde.
