Review of Hesher (2010) by Dc E — 23 Mar 2012
"Hesher" 10 Scale Rating: 7.5 (Great) ...
The Good: They didn't try too hard to make it a sentimental movie. As a matter of fact, the lead character (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) masks any inkling of sentiment he has extremely well. I found that refreshing as most movies of this variety use the same tired cliches. It is a dark comedy (heavy on the dark) with just enough emotion and drama to make it human.
The Bad: The basic concept has been done to death, to be honest. Off-the-wall free spirit interacts with troubled family and teaches them how to live ... I mean, it is well done, but isn't breaking any new ground.
