Movie Haiku:Walter Black (Gibson) is a deeply depressed man unable to connect with his family until one night, drunk & desperate, he grabs onto life again thru a handpuppet. Serious drama about mental illness & artistic inspiration (with some laughs generated by puppet in his manic phase) further explicated in the subplot about Walter''''s son (Yelchin) & his beautiful muse (Lawrence).
