I loved this movie! Very affecting. Mel was good and managed to play crazy without playing hateful. Jodie is fetching. A powerful work.

A brave role for an actor dealing with his own demons and Jodie Foster; you are a beautiful, inspirational, loyal, supportive, and highly intelligent example of what Hollywood should be. While difficult at times, this movie provides a glimpse into mental health issues and their inter-generational influence on a family. Similar to Silver Linings Playbook, but I think The Beaver was more inciteful without the cutesy love affair between cute people. Movies like The Beaver afford us something that we don't see, or choose not to acknowledge. Bravo.

a unique look at mental illness and its impact on a family, however, i found myself not caring. i did like the performance of anton yeltchin though.

people need to pay attention. if they didn't like this movie they aren't paying attention. It was absolutely fantastic. maybe living life a bit more would let them see how insightful and smart The Beaver truly is.

Mel is great in this dark, different and uplifting film.

Great flick. For all Gibson's faults, he remains a great actor. Jodie Foster has shown promise as a director.

Not a bad movie, but a brave one from a star in trouble.

Gibson is no Jerry Mathers.

Well in short,this MIGHT be a good family movie....its amazing what kids will watch,but for the rest of us....all i got to ask,"is this the best you can do Mel"???

This is a moving film. It draws on our emotions, on our feeling when the love of our life, anchor of our home falls into a deep dark tunnel and can not come out. This is definitely a movie worth seeing.
