OK, but no one will ever love “Joshua”
You don’t have to be a genius to work out that the plot doesn’t sound too dissimilar to “The Omen” or “Orphan”, it even has Vera Farmiga playing the mother again for gods sake! But, “Joshua” is no where near as great as “The Omen” or “Orphan”. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t the worst film I’ve seen in my life and it does have terrific strengths, but also weaknesses that drag the film down quite a bit.

“Joshua” has its own style, it’s much more subtle than “Orphan”, in “Orphan” we see Esther kill countless people so it’s really in your face that she’s evil. The twist isn’t subtle either. But “Joshua” doesn’t make it clear if it’s his wrong doing or not. So “Joshua” sets out to be more classy than “Orphan” but also no where near as fun or entertaining. I did like how it was subtle and a bit of a slow-burner but sometimes the pacing got a bit too slow and at times boring, but always engaging.

The most impressive thing about “Joshua” is it’s atmosphere. It builds up a really tense and uncomfortable atmosphere. It’s beautifully bleak and awkward in a good way, not awkward in a bad way like “The Idiots”. The boy who plays Joshua is also quite creepy. The unresolved ending also adds to the films creepyness.

So if you want a quietly grim and creepy drama with splashes of horror and intellect. “Joshua” is for you. But, I prefer the fun and weirdness of “Orphan”.

Clearly not what the ignorant masses were expecting
I had been waiting quite impatiently for the release of Joshua from the moment I saw the trailer. Unlike the people who walked out of the theater, I was not disappointed. But that doesn’t mean you won’t be. Joshua is clearly not a movie for the everyman and it never really tries to be.

It is a story about a boy who longs to be understood by parents who choose to watch from the sidelines. The previews made the boy seem like he was just a creepy weirdo, but it becomes obvious quite quickly why he is the way he is. Joshua tells his father that he does not like soccer and baseball. In an attempt to seem open-minded and understanding, his father tells him that it’s okay and that he should just do what he wants (without ever asking exactly what it is that his son wants). His mother just doesn’t care as long as she’s not bothered.

Dark, disturbing, creepy, but occasionally sadistically humorous, events unfold slowly (much to the dismay of people expecting shock after gratuitous shock) proving Joshua to be a far more calm and calculating boy than originally perceived. Jacob Kogan’s performance is reminiscent of Haley Joel Osment in A.I. (if that character were a sadistic schemer). He is the only character who stands out and I believe this was intentional; the other characters can tell, right along with the audience, that the boy ain’t quite right.

This movie is certainly not for the impatient and/or those who need to be smacked in the face repeatedly to stay awake during movies. But if you want a movie that slowly and coolly toys with your mind until the very end, Joshua will likely deliver what you are looking for.
