Quebecois director, Jean-Marc Vall\u00e9e, seems to fully embrace the philosophy of the 1950\u2019s postmodern movement, disassembling the protagonist\u2019s soul for a full completion of his metaphysical presence.<\/p>\n<p>Davis Mitchell (Jake Gyllenhaal), a successful investment banker, struggles after losing his wife in a tragic car crash. Despite pressure from his father-in-law, Phil (Chris Cooper), to react, Davis continues to unravel. What starts as a complaint letter to a vending machine company turns into a series of letters revealing startling personal admissions. Davis\u2019 letters catch the attention of customer service representative, Karen Mareno (Naomi Watts) and amidst emotional and financial burdens of her own, the two form an unlikely connection. With the help of Karen and her son, Chris (Judah Lewis), Davis starts to rebuild, beginning with the demolition of the life he once knew.<\/p>\n<p>The film is very powerful in portraying how the white-collar widower needs to tear his whole life apart to find meaning. He literally wrecks everything that crosses his path: dismantling appliances, smashing furniture and even going so far as to bulldoze his own house. Just as effective is the epistolary therapy that attests how in moments of grief it is easier to vent out to a stranger, rather than with those who know us well and can therefore be critical and judgemental.<\/p>\n<p>Jake Gyllenhaal is truly remarkable as a man who refuses to mourn his wife&#8217;s death and seeks through \u201cDemolition\u201d a catharsis that never comes; he definitely gives his best performance since \u2018Brokeback Mountain.\u2019 Just as delicate and raw in their performance are the graceful Naomi Watts and charismatic Chris Cooper, who are crucial in different ways for Davis\u2019 heeling process.<\/p>\n<p>Filmmaker Vall\u00e9e started as an underground filmmaker who made lyrical and wildly offbeat paeans to love and family, and gained Hollywood attention with flicks such as \u2018Dallas Buyers Club\u2019 and \u2018Wild.\u2019 \u2018Demolition\u2019 seems to play along the lines of his early works, such as\u00a0\u2018Caf\u00e9 de Flore\u2019 and\u00a0\u2018C.R.A.Z.Y.\u2019, venturing in the odyssey of the human \u201cstorm and urge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Technical: B<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Acting: A-<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Story: B+<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Overall: A-<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Written by: Chiara Spagnoli Gabardi<\/b><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_158630\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-158630\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Demolition-Movie-Review.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-158630\" alt=\"Demolition Movie Review\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Demolition-Movie-Review.jpg\" width=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Demolition-Movie-Review.jpg 632w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Demolition-Movie-Review-300x240.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 632px) 100vw, 632px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-158630\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: 20th Century Fox<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Demolition Director: Jean-Marc Vall\u00e9e Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Chris Cooper, Naomi Watts, Judah Lewis. \u2018Demolition\u2019 is a sagaciously deconstructivist drama.
