VIDEO : 'Joshua' Unscripted - Sundance 2007
George Ratliff and Vera Farmiga talk about their movie 'Joshua.'
Okay, so I've never been much for the company of kids. which may make me extra-susceptible when it comes to the evil deeds and manipulations of a perfectly precious child on-screen. It's an easy button to push, though -- after all, who would ever suspect,...
George Ratliff's Joshua is my pick for the most underseen and underappreciated movie of last year; I suspect that as a true psychological horror film with something on its mind, it was simply too unpleasant to find much of an audience. But it proved...
Last year, a 'motley group of techie folks' came together and used Bayesian analysis (don't worry, I'm not smart enough to figure it out either) to predict which films at Sundance would win the four major awards. Part of their process includes gathering...
To most movie fans, Sundance is this far-off and distant place they can't visit because, well, it's a pretty damn expensive trip -- and who the heck wants to spend a week on a mountain in January and not ski? The second question I'm always asked upon my...

wow i justed watched Joshua. I almost fell asleep. The movie was boring, had bad acting, and just plain weird. I warn you, do not watch it!!!!
I am starting to get really sick of these movies that are just total crap! This movie was so slow, made no sense, and had another horrific ending. If I had paid to watch this at the show I would have ... been even more mad. You couldn`t pay me to sit there and watch this movie again. You keep waiting for it to pick up and for the strange kid to reveal his reasons for what he did and it just never comes. Nothing that he does is shown on-screen. DO NOT waste your money renting this movie, I`m warning you. 1 of the worst I have ever seen in my 44 years on this Earth,lol. I really can`t think of anything worse. I hope I save you 4 bucks on a rental fee. Full Review
This movie was funny! I laughed the entire time. Reminded me of myself when I was a child.
Good acting, VERY slow developing story, little action and terrible directing.
Just finished watching this on dvd. Not really sure how the mom and the dad jumped to the conclusion that the boy was messing with their heads. The movie never tells us what Joshua whispered to the ... uncle during the grandmother's viewing. I found the mom character to be very annoying. The boy is creepy, but it never pointed out directly what the boy did that creeped us out so much. Wouldn't it be logical for the dad to have the baby formula checked out by professionals if he suspected something was wrong with it? The psychiatrist went to his room, talking about his guinea pig the whole time, how is it that she did not notice the dead animal in its cage? If she suspected abuse, as she said she did, wouldn't the authorities come investigate? If the father suspected his son of an evil plot, why would he not tell someone other than the uncle, who did not believe him? Too many unanswered questions. The movie implied a lot of evil performed by Joshua, but seems like the writer forgot to follow through with facts instead of innuendos. Full Review
