Review of Half Nelson (2006) by Thomas J — 21 Aug 2010
Great character piece with great performances by Gosling and Epps. It's great to see a black youth in a film where they're not acting extremely foolish or playing sports as if that's the only thing going on in their lives, I only wish Hollywood woud realize this.
One thing that bothered me was that these characters seem to be so effortlessly developed and multi-dimensional, yet there really isn't too much of a story or plot for them to actually do anything in, it actually kind of reminded me of the pilot episode of a HBO drama, one where I'm dying to see the rest of the season.
