People are saying forgotten Kate Winslet drama is the 'best movie they've ever watched'

Fans of a movie Kate Winslet did over a decade ago is regaining popularity as people are claiming it’s the ‘best movie they’ve ever watched’.

There are just some golden oldies that you can’t help but revisit, or watch for the first time after somehow missing out on the hype surrounding the gem - this is exactly the case of this forgotten 2013 movie.

Starring the one and only Kate Winslet, the flick is one that will make you laugh, cry and sit on the edge of your seat as you try to piece together just what’s about to happen in the scene.

You may already know what movie this is, but if you’ve got no idea, be prepared to add it to your watchlist.

Based on the novel by Joyce Maynard, the plot is centered around ‘depressed single mom Adele (Winslet) and her son Henry’ who go on to ‘offer a wounded, fearsome man a ride’ as they are essentially forced to do so in a grocery store, as they become entangled in his past.

It really is a golden film, which also stars Josh Brolin as the mystery man and Tobey Maguire as an older Henry.

That’s because Labor Day is a film you’ll never forget.

It’s a great film which takes you on a journey through an unlikely scenario which ultimately proves that Winslet has the most range of any actress ever, and clearly fans think the same thing too.

Taking to Netflix Banger's Facebook page, one fan shared: “The best movie I’ve ever watched.”

A second wrote: “I cried so much to this, great film,” while someone else said: “I agree. Probably her best movie; her acting skills were well displayed!.”

Another commented: “I loved this movie!! Good watch.”

However, while fans seemingly love it, critics were not too shabby on Rotten Tomatoes as they only gave it a measly 34 percent. Yikes.

Maynard later wrote an article about her thoughts on the adaptation, and it’s safe to assume that she gave it the thumbs up.

She wrote: “I've been asked a lot, since the recent release of Labor Day, how the film compares for me with my novel. Not surprisingly, the director and screenwriter of a two-hour film that tells a story I took over 200 pages to tell, in novel form, will have to leave some parts out - and Jason did.

“But for me, the experience of settling myself into a seat in a screening room, as I did for the first time about six months ago to see the first cut of Labor Day, was a richly gratifying experience. At several parts in the film (that first time I saw it, and twice after) I found myself weeping as I watched it.

“Partly this was because (as well as I knew the story) I found myself moved by it all over again.

“Most of all, though, as a writer, I felt moved that a the ensemble of director, cast, cinematographer, set decorator... and the entire crew of a few hundred responsible for bringing the film to life - had succeeded in bringing concrete life to characters and places, a situation, and a series of events, that had until then existed only in my brain, and then on the page.”
