The Beaver Review (2011)

  Mel Gibson gives a solid performance as his character in The Beaver, showing a darker side of himself that is very different, but not exactly in a good way. 

  Anton Yelchin, Jodie Foster, and Jennifer Lawrence also give solid performances, though there isn't much for them to work with.

  The Beaver is hardly a flawless movie and it isn't for everyone, but I admired it's bravery. Jodie Foster really balanced the film with some amusing humor and dark tones, while keeping it somewhat realistic within the world.

  Foster does an excellent job of telling multiple stories and keeping it interesting, though at times the audience must suspend belief about what is happening. I will give this very mediocre film a 2 out of 5 stars. (It's Okay)
