Demolition is yet another playground for Jake Gyllenhaal to show off his incredible talent. Jean-Marc Vallee, director of WILD and DALLAS BUYER'S CLUB, delivers a very similar film that seems as if it should feel more important and profound than it actually did to me. I connected with this topic more than his previous works, as the idea of dismantling as an exercise in self-reflection was very resonant for me, but I did feel like the film could have impacted me more. The cinematography and editing are fantastic, though, and worth the ticket price alone.
7.5/10
