Thumbsucker (2005) - No Gay Content

Thumbsucker Excellent movie.  Here, Lou Taylor Pucci is a teenager who sucks his thumb.  While trying to get rid of his addiction, he acquires others.  Coming of age story. Lou Pucci is excellent.  Tilda Swinton is excellent.  Vince Vaughn was ok.  Vincent Donofrio, as usual, could have been better (i.e., could have been replaced by anyone else).  Keanu Reeves.  Well, I had given up on him in Speed (that's 1994).  He is hopeless, right?  But after Thumbsucker I will keep him on hold.  He wasn't that bad.

What a beautiful soundtrack, carried basically by Scream & Shout.  Sort of O.C.ish in a hippie way, cool mo dee.  Preview the soundtrack here: Tim DeLaughter - Thumbsucker (Original Score) - Scream & Shout

In the previews, they briefly show a scene where Benjamin Bratt is going toward Lou Pucci to hug him.  I thought we were going to have some sort of weird gay content, but it was a false alarm.
