Details the mental decline of a social pariah who eventually develops a new identity to cope with his pain.

Zellweger inhabits Garland so fully that we quickly forget that there’s just an actor behind the makeup.

Returning director Andy Muschietti draws every ounce of stress out of every nail-biting sequence.

Picks itself up from a trash heap of clichés and ill-conceived casting to overcome its flawed foundation.
