I just could not relate to the characters. I understood where they were coming from, I understood their positions, but this movie just didn't speak to me. I found it dull and slow moving, and frankly, I thought the boy was a bit old for an invisible friend. If the point of the movie was to make me uncomfortable, it failed even in that. To make one uncomfortable, one must at least believe in the characters, and I couldn't. I thought the performance by the central character, the boy, was outstanding given the script with which he had to work. Beyond that, I wish I could get that time back.

Other movies I hated this much: Manchester by the Sea, which I found to be a prolonged bout of navel contemplation.
