Review of Hello Herman (2012) by Jane R — 22 Mar 2013
"Hello Herman" is the story of Herman Howards, a sixteen year old who commits an unthinkable atrocity at his high school. In the aftermath, blogger Lax Morales interviews Herman about why he committed such a violent crime and slowly discovers the reasons he lashed out while reminiscing about his own past.
This dramatic, well-acted film is given power by the talents of Garrett Backstrom (Herman) and his incredible emotive skills. No one else could make Herman into such a sympathetic and yet detestable character.
Backstrom's performance is further enhanced by Norman Reedus' nuanced interpretation of blogger Lax Morales. Together, these actors create a charged atmosphere that runs through all their onscreen interactions.
Their powerful performances make "Hello Herman" a must see film.
