November 4, 2005

Mike Mills's bittersweet drama Thumbsucker, which opened last week to glowing reviews, is very much a showcase for its terrific young lead, Lou Pucci.

But it's also worth seeing for a superbly rich performance from Vincent D'Onofrio as Pucci's loving, regretful, not-terribly-bright father, whose promise as a football pro was cruelly snuffed out by injury....Full article.

Couldn't agree more. A most talented man and a pleasure to watch. Can't wait to see Thumbsucker here in Australia.

went to the British premiere at the National Film Theatre with genuine film buffs who applauded at the end - and this is England.
vdo was, as ever, his excellent self, but the rest of the cast were also superb. I could also picture vdo in vince vaughn's role

What a beautiful, thoughtful and decent article for once. He deserves all the raves he's getting!! He rules!

I'm just worried about him now becoming too visible to the public eye. He's fast becoming a celebrity and any real fan (like myself) will know that, to VDO, that's not a good thing.
