User Reviews of Henry Poole Is Here

Henry Poole Is Here is 90% sentimental bullshit that must've been written by a failed novelist turned theologian or vice versa. This movie is a series of cliches and overused plot devices (precocious teenagers, freakishly cute children, discovering the solution was in YOU all along) strung together to make a halfway decent movie that a l m o s t got me a little misty. Henry Poole Is Here was photographed pretty well even if you saw the ending coming from forever away. Luke Wilson did a decent acting job when he wasn't too busy squinting but beyond that I'm sure some religious studies class will love watching it at the end of the semester.

It makes me sad that this movie got so little recognition when it came out. It was so quirky, and unconventional , and emotional that it definitely should have been given more than a passing glance. Luke Wilson was wonderful. The message of the film was subtle through the entire thing; nothing ever got cliche or overwhelming, and it wasn't preachy or evangelistic when it came to the religious undertones. Even at the end, nothing was forced on you. It was so good, and yet you can't say why it was so good. I loved it.

This is one of the most under rated movies I have ever seen. The preview doesnt do it justice at all. Beautifully woven story that will leave you with hope and gratitude. The soundtrack is really what carries so much of this movie. Each piece se flows through like rain. If you are the least bit prone to a tear or two(as am I)keep some kleenex ready.

"Changing his attitude will take a miracle." Henry Poole moves in to a house in his old neighborhood, to spend what he believes are his remaining days alone. The discovery of a "miracle" by a nosy neighbor ruptures his solitude and restores his faith in life. REVIEW Truly extraordinary dramedy about a sad and angry young man (Wilson in arguably his best work to date) who upon learning he is dying, buys a home in his old childhood memory and finds himself at the center of attraction when a mysterious stain appears on his house prompting a relentless next-door- neighbor (the wonderful Barraza) to claim it as a possibly miracle : since the stain looks like Jesus Christ. Added to the mix are Wilson's other next-door-neighbor (ethereally comely Mitchell, also giving a fabulous performance) and her silent daughter (newcomer Lily, a truly adorable and remarkably gifted young actress) whose equally somber lives intermingle with the reluctant new homeowner. Director Mark Pellington does an excellent job avoiding the mawkish and predictable with a splendid script by novice Albert Torres that is one of the best inspirational films I've seen in some time and how the need to make a connection/bond with another human being is overwhelmingly emotionally fulfilling. A small gem of a movie that had me in tears and smiles throughout.

Rarely do we see a mainstream film ("indie" as it is) that deals so openly and concretely with the concept of faith, depicting the different ways that people deal with a possible encounter with the divine. Henry is not the only skeptic. It's intimidating, even frightening, for some to come face to face with the divine. Even Father Salazar is cautious, sensing the weight of having to confirm or dispel a miracle. The film also explores the relationship between miracles and faith. Do we perceive miracles because we have faith, or is faith the product of being touched by miracles? Do we believe in miraculous healing, or do we heal ourselves through the power of our own minds? And what role can we play in growing and nurturing the faith of others - particularly those lost in despair? Henry Poole Is Here is a very personal film for director Mark Pellington, who suffered a devastating loss in his own life. How lucky we are that he chose to exorcise his grief by creating for us tender, life-affirming and faith-filled movie. Despite its limited release status, I was thrilled to see Henry Poole showing the other night at my local multiplex. Can a beautiful little film like this find an audience? I guess you've got to have faith.
