The Odd Life of Timothy Green
Time Out says
All of this is recounted in flashback, as Jim and Cindy try to explain to an adoption agent (Shohreh Aghdashloo) why they should be entrusted with a non-fantastical, non-plant-based child. Photographing an ordinary barbecue as if it were a harvest, director Peter Hedges traffics in a disturbingly ’50s, Norman Rockwell-ish vision of all-Americana. The film seems designed less for children than for insecure moms and dads who wish their kids could be this flawless, patient and wise. Leaf Boy is meant to be charming, but it’s the ickiness that stays with you, like contact dermatitis.
