This film tells the story of a depressed single woman and her son, who helps harbouring a fugitive over the Labot Day weekend.
To be honest, if it was not for the presence of Kate Winslet, I would probably not have watched "Labor Day". Kate Winslet's performance as a depressed woman is very amazing. The initial part of the film shows her clinically depressed, and she looks and acts 100% like a depressed woman. What's more amazing is that she improves over the course of the film, and Kate Winslet plays the improvement beautifully and convincingly.
As for the plot, the initial hour is so boring as the build up is far too long. Fortunately, the second half of the film picks up pace, with thrills and suspense built into it. The very emotional ending makes up for the boring first half, and saved the film for me. It is very rewarding to see how Frank has made a lasting effect on both the mother and son.
