The Beaver (2011)

As one of the few film projects for Mel Gibson following his infamous drunken tirade in the late 2000s, it’s no surprise that The Beaver didn’t reach many audiences back when it was eventually released in 2011. However, Gibson’s personal troubles shouldn’t take away from this Jodie Foster-directed drama. Gibson’s offbeat performance as Walter Black and the titular Beaver puppet is one of the best of his career and should not be missed.
