RottenTomatoes Score: 80% (6.9/10) Box Office: Glassland has made just $1,214 to date. Whoops. Verdict: Glassland isn't a movie for the weak of stomach: it's a grim but terrifically acted drama about a young man (Jack Reynor) attempting to save his mother (Toni Colette) from alcohol-fuelled oblivion. Though it's far too honest and authentic to be mere "misery porn", it's not something to sit through if you're already in a glum mood, and its tone will largely explain why it's done virtually no business. Yes, one subplot feels a little strained and the ending will guarantee dissatisfaction for some, but Reynor, Colette and Will Poulter put on an absolute acting clinic here. If you're a fan of the trio, it can't be missed.
Stay at home dad who spends as much time teaching his kids the merits of Martin Scorsese as possible (against the missus' wishes).
General video game, TV and film nut. Occasional sports fan. Full time loon.
