Demolition is an American drama directed by Jean-Marc Vallée, who last served us with the movie Wild. The main role went to Jake Gyllenhaal, who after the films Southpaw, Nightcrawler and Enemy plays a slightly less snarky character, although the title suggests otherwise. Nevertheless, there is no shortage of destruction in the film. But the blows are not so much physical (except for his house), but mainly psychological.
Demolition is a drama about a successful investment banker Davis (Jake Gyllenhaal), whose world turns upside down when his wife dies in a car accident before his eyes. Despite pressure from his son-in-law Phil (Chris Cooper), to compose himself, however, Davis sinks deeper and deeper.

From a solitary complaint of broken food vending machine in the hospital, it turns into a correspondence worthy of two lovers, and his letters, which are really a cry for help, attract the attention of Karen (Naomi Watts), who is in charge of customers in the company. Between them and her son (Judah Lewis) an unexpected bond is formed. And with that, Davis begins build a new life, which only begins with the destruction (metaphorical and physical) of the life he once knew.
