Boring, borderline pretentious and painful
Added 10/25/2009
Opting for greatness, does not make things great. Shades of Rosemary's Baby, Birth and other Manhattan psychological thrillers have inspired this to tedium. Nothing really ever happens. Lots of noisy post-partum screaming, discordant and overplayed piano music, constant infant crying and grimacing all add together like some expensive pharmaceutical ad for a migraine pill. Run away.

Lambs To The Slaughter...
Added 10/1/2009
JOSHUA isn't a bloody, jolting, or overtly terrifying movie. It's not supposed to be. JOSHUA is unsettling and creepy because of the subject matter. This is a portrayal of sociopathy in the body of a 9yo boy. A boy who has no real social limits or moral barriers whatsoever. This is the story of a family, slowly undermined and ultimately destroyed by the machinations of their own flesh and blood. Imagine your own child plotting your downfall, in a way that cannot be discerned until it's far too late. JOSHUA crawls under the skin and burrows into the heart. A personal favorite...

TOO INTELLIGENT FOR THE MASSES
Added 6/22/2009
This movie portrayed a sociopathic child with a genius I.Q. and what could happen when he felt unloved and upstaged by his baby sister. The acting and directing are near perfect. The ending scene and music is genius and ties it all together nicely.
Note: reading the reviews (both good and bad) scared me more than the movie.

bad ending
Added 3/23/2009
i really hate endings that are thought provoked and just leave you hanging..... all through this movie the director and actors had me so unbelievably angry with this child, and i really did want to see that he had not fooled everybody. hopefully, that was what his uncle's last scene with him was about. that he glimpsed something in the evil little boy...julie from milwaukee
