Brilliant filmmaking...

Every now and then comes a movie that just grabs you and this is exactly the type of movie I wanted to make if I were a director....speaking of which, the director Mark Pellington captures perfectly this pseudo fable about faith, hope, and miracles. It stirs up the idea that perhaps miracles can happen if you believe and don't question it. HENRY POOLE IS HERE stars Luke Wilson and an amazing cast that adds to the flavor of the movie. I'm a big fan of indie films and a bigger fan of anyone who can make one that really touches you on an emotional level. It's pure brilliance! The soundtrack isn't bad either. Makes me want to write an indie flick now....

HENRY POOLE is HERE is a comedic drama about a disillusioned man who goes hiding in placid suburbia only to discover he cannot escape the forces of hope. Returning to the middleclass neighborhood where he grew up, Henry chooses to live in indulgent isolation. Real life, however, refuses to cooperate with his plans. Nosy neighbors interrupt him with curious visits and prying questions. Then the situation escalates as a stain on Henry's stucco wall is seen to have miraculous powers. His last-ditch hideout becomes a shrine; his backyard turns into an arena for passionate debate about faith and destiny. Seeking anonymous oblivion, cynical Henry Poole instead finds himself right at the center of the human comedy. A modern-day fable, director Mark Pellington's new film investigates the unexpected wonders of the everyday. A faithless man finds hope. A hopeless man finds love. Whether backyard miracles are real or triggered by hope and belief, their personal effects are permanent.
