Review of Hesher (2010) by Caleb C — 07 Aug 2011
One of the strongest films of the year so far. Everyone is brilliant here as well as the construction here. It is quite controversial in some ways, but has a good heart at it's core. This is another one with Rainn Wilson that is likely to be overlooked at the academy awards next year along with his performance in Super.
Joseph Gorden-Levitt leads the film with young Devin Brochu as the focus of the film's perspective. It's about as rude and dark and real as any film can get this year. It is labeled as a drama, but there are some quiet darkly humorous elements here as well.
As well, Natalie Portmans relationship with the mian boy here is something that will not be forgotten here. These unlikely matches and the chemistry work pretty damn well here, and it's unlike most films your ever likely to see.
Do yourself a favor and see this movie with an open mind of course. Not for the faint of heart or for one that gets easily offended.
