I completely agree. It was a shame, actually. Reilly and Hoffman were both outstanding, though. Did you see both versions?
No, I just saw Hoffman as Austin and Reilly as Lee--the obvious casting choices, but I would have been interested in the opposite casting. I just have too many problems with the play as a whole to sit through it again. |

| I have Thumbsucker waiting to be watched, too. Is the Mike Mills that directed Thumbsucker the same Mike Mills that's a member of REM? |

Although that's not always a definitive sign - they get things wrong on a regular basis. |

| I wanted to see Thumbsucker until I learned the title wasn't just a metaphor. |
