Romance seems to fill up cinema in almost every genre that exists. Anywhere from an action movie to a comedy can display people falling for one another. However, it seems to be in the category of drama where the lust for another person takes on challenges that seem almost impossible to overcome.

Labor Day, based on the novel by Joyce Maynard, is a tale just like that. Starring Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin, the basis of the film takes off when a mother and son give a seemingly unnerving man a ride. Letting him stay in their care for awhile, the mother and son soon find out the truth about this mysterious man as the police go about the town searching for this ex-convict. In a bind as to what to do, the pair contemplates what their few options are for the future with this man.

The new film from Jason Reitman will be in theaters on January 31.
