Review of Junkhearts (2011) by James D — 30 Jan 2012

3 characters one being a guilt ridden alcoholic who lives a lonely life (played by the constantly great Eddie Marsan), a 17 year old homeless girl he elects to pick up off the street to give her a home to help her clean up her act in a way that allows him to clean his.

Then we have random interludes of this nearly broke mother trying to bring up a kid while being a social worker, mistress and sort of a drug dealer while trying to hold her head above water.Its these kind of movies that should be made more often than the shit that often gets put out these days.

While it wasn't as good as I hoped it would be it is still something worth seeing once. Its a very hard movie to watch definitely living Vancouver where this kind of stuff happens. The movie is about redemption, 3 people for the most part looking for their own piece but through helping each other in one way or another (which is sort of a spoiler but you would've seen it coming).
