The Book of Henry<br />
Naomi Watts plays a single mom who takes life lessons from her brilliant son<br />
DRAMA An unnervingly smart 11-year-old, Henry (Jaeden Lieberher) seems<br />
No.5MOVIE to understand how to bring order to the random chaos in his life—he even<br />
has the financial know-how to create a large nest egg for his single mother, Susan<br />
(Naomi Watts), and younger brother Peter (Jacob Tremblay). But some heartbreaking<br />
realities, it turns out, are beyond Henry’s control, and an overwhelmed Susan must learn to<br />
set things right herself. The story lurches off in dramatically new directions, but Watts’s strong,<br />
realistic performance prevails. She’s the moral compass the movie needs. (<strong>June</strong> 16, PG-13)<br />

Maudie<br />
Just folks: Hawkins<br />
(with Hawke) plays<br />
a real-life painter.<br />
DRAMA Sally Hawkins is Maud<br />
Lewis (1903-1970), a Canadian<br />
folk artist who painted flowers and animals—images of<br />
uninhibited, vibrant color—while struggling with arthritis<br />
and sharing<br />
a claustrophobically snug cabin with the<br />
world’s most taciturn husband (Ethan Hawke). Hawkins<br />
is moving as<br />
this poor, uneducated woman whose soul<br />
harbored a world of joy. (In limited release <strong>June</strong> 16, PG-13)<br />
