Thumbsucker is the directorial debut of Mike Mills, adapted from the novel by Walter Kirn and stars Tilda Swinton, Vincent D’Onofrio, Keanu Reeves, Benjamin Bratt, Kelli Garner and Vince Vaughn.
Justin Cobb (newcomer Lou Pucci) still sucks his thumb at 17. We soon discover through hypnosis therapy that his thumbsucking is in fact only a symptom of a deep-seated fear and once that’s gone Justin spirals into manic behaviour, is diagnosed with ADHD and put on Ritalin, which becomes a substitute for his thumb. When the high of the prescription drugs and a newfound success at school crash, Justin turns to pot and sex to replace his thumb…
The score to Thumbsucker was written by The Polyphonic Spree’s Tim DeLaughter and recorded with members of the band. The Polyphonic Spree is like no other group, their music is happy and uplifting and manages to make the audience feel as involved with the music as the band members. With over 20 members, a critically acclaimed live performance and a debut album that has sold over 90,000 units in the UK, Polyphonic Spree are a force to be reckoned with. The soundtrack contains an exclusive new song from The Polyphonic Spree, "Move Away And Shine" and three songs from Elliot Smith, one of which ("Thirteen") is previously unreleased and was chosen by Elliot for inclusion in the movie.
