About this movie

From Academy Award-nominated director Jason Reitman (Up in the Air, Juno), Labor Day is "a romance to root for"* starring Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin as two strangers drawn together under incredible circumstances. What starts as an unforeseen encounter over a long holiday weekend soon becomes a second chance love story in the unforgettable film that critics are calling "satisfying and deeply touching"** *Karen Durbin, Elle **Rex Reed, NY OBSERVER

Ratings and reviews

It is truly possible to fall in love so quickly. This hits really close to home for me. This was beautifully done. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I felt like the ending was thrown together but then again it has to be around 2 hrs long and it's hard to fit such beauty into only 2 hrs ;)

I thought this was a great movie! I'll admit that it dragged on a bit in the middle (which is why I only gave it 4 stars), but the overall message and underlying themes struck me straight up. Kate and Gattlin were brilliant, and I really and truly felt for them.

Here's a movie that manages to demonstrate what good chemistry there could be between its leads, yet does absolutely nothing with it. Also, has peach pie ever looked more gloriously banal?
