I needn't have worried here though, here in the Beaver he delivers a moving and compassionate performance, perhaps his best work in a while. I just haven't always been blown away by Mel Gibson, both as an actor and as a director. Not that I was expecting to hate the film, the premise seemed interesting and I heard so many good things about it. Reviewed by TheLittleSongbird 8 / 10 A very good movie surprisingly. Through the beaver, the family begins to learn about Walter's history and problems, and as he continues rebuilding, the beaver shows us all a way to cope. He uses the puppet to talk to himself, trying to bolster his spirits, and is trying to rebuild his life. Walter starts carrying a beaver puppet and tries to commit suicide (unsuccessfully). It's driving his family crazy, and his wife Meredith (Jodie Foster) kicks him out. Walter Black ('Mel Gibson') is depressed and sleeps most of the day.
