The Book of Henry

CrimeDramaThriller105 min

Susan is a small-town waitress and single mother whose oldest son has quietly taken over more than any 11-year-old should. Naomi Watts is Susan, raising two boys while leaning on Henry, a gifted kid who manages the household finances and looks after his younger brother, Peter. Jaeden Martell’s Henry becomes alarmed by what’s happening in the house next door, where a girl he watches from afar seems to be hiding something dangerous. As he pushes Susan to act, the film threads family drama through secrecy, suspicion, and a plan that puts their already fragile home under even more strain.
