The Night Listener with Robin Williams and Toni Collette. Have you seen it?

Based on Actual Events.

Gabriel Noone is a late night radio-host in a big city, specializing in spooky tales culled from his active imagination. When Gabriel's lover decides he needs some "space" and moves out, Gabriel descends into a funk until a publisher friend brings him a manuscript written by 14 year-old Pete Logand, a troubled young fan. Pete's story touches the vulnerable Gabriel deeply. Pete was severely abused by his parents and is now under the care of his former social worker, Donna Logand, who has adopted him. Pete is very ill and he and Donna are keeping a low profile in a small town in Wisconsin to avoid discovery by Pete's mother. Gabriel develops an unsettling long-distance telephone relationship with the boy and his guardian. Nothing is as it seems and the skepticism of friends causes Gabriel to become suspicious of Donna and her motives, so he tries to resolve the loose ends by traveling to Wisconsin to confront Donna and Pete. But this effort is largely unsuccessful and we are left wondering if Pete is real, if Donna is really blind or if Gabriel is the deranged soul of the story.

I would recommend this movie.

It is based on a novel written by the Gabriel Noone character. The real person is actually a local celebrity in San Francisco. I understand that it was rather difficult for him to revisit the whole time period during which he broke up with his lover and discovered this compelling story.

The movie was suspenseful. I kept waiting for something to jump out at me scare me half to death. While that did not happen literally, the dark tone of the story and the outcome were both satisfying. I can't say there was a resolution to the story. That is left to the viewer or the reader of the book.

Thank you for mentioning this movie.

and it held my interest. Bizarre story.
