Review of The Paperboy

The Paperboy (2012)
7/10
a dark and poisonous thriller
30 December 2012
Wow. I was knocked down when I left the theatre. I didn't expect to see a so dark and poisonous thriller.

We see a sordid Florida and its racial and social prejudices, the atmosphere of the movie is as unhealthy as the life in the Everglades marshes. ! I have been particularly impressed by Nicole Kidman who dares to play a role totally opposed to her usual glamorous and clean image : she plays a vulgar and scatterbrained Barbie girl, but very naive and touching.

I saw the movie because of her and I was not disappointed.

But my god, this movie is so dark...
