Inventing the Abbotts Reviews
Thematically Brilliant
I admit, I haven't watched this movie recently (say, within the last 5 years), but it really struck a chord with me. This movie explores the theme of projection, i.e., seeing people as it is convenient to see them or as you want to see them, which may have very little to do with what they are really like.
John inculcates his runaway obsession about the Abbotts to his younger brother, Doug. Doug learns later to sift through John's inventive narrative and arrive at his own conclusions.
I read another review that praised this film as a "showcase for young talent." In my book, that comment seems very close to the mark. Liv Tyler and Joaquin Phoenix brilliantly portray the "class-crossed" lovers.
When hate distorts ... only love can heal
Sweet and wonderful, generational romance, a son wanting to avenge his father's demise, revenge through manipulation, and a love that actually wins in the end. Liv Tyler is brilliant.
