Review of Hesher (2010) by Rinnah A — 10 Oct 2011
Urban Dictionary describes a "hesher" as a rocker, with greasy hair, who lives in his parents' basement. Fortunately, the film Hesher doesn't stop at just that, but expands the character of the same name to the point where we don't consider him a loser but a strangely placed hero caught up in a bad lifestyle.
The fun stems from the picture itself. Just from the screenplay, written by director Spencer Susser and David Michôd respectfully, you can tell it was fun just to write the idea of an underprivileged adult who goes around freeloading off of an emotionally damaged family and destroys property for no reason.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt gives an electrifying performance as well as Devin Brochu, Natalie Portman, Piper Laurie, Rainn Wilson and the rest of the team.
