Psychothriller Joshua On DVD

The movie Joshua is available on DVD this week. It's quite good, and definitely worth a viewing if you haven't seen it. The film involves a highly intelligent 9-year-old boy who exhibits suspicious and disturbing behavior after the birth of his newborn sister. Think The Good Son, with a young Patrick Bateman-esque piano prodigy in place of the precocious Culkin (whom we would later realize really isn't very good at acting).
Joshua stars Jacob Kogan (who previously appeared on Wonder Showzen) in the title role, as well as Sam Rockwell and Vera Farmiga.






Note that the music in Joshua is by young (queer) composer Nico Muhly. I go around telling everyone I know that Nico is The Bomb, because he pays me to.
