Review of Short Term 12 (2013) by Armand J — 27 Feb 2016
Never has a story about the friendship of an octopus and a shark been more powerful.
This movie was something else. I'm kicking myself for not seeing it back in 2013, but I'm glad it garnered all of this acclaim because it's really deserved.
The film is able to nuance its way through a massive spectrum of emotion scene after scene by using some lovely, subtle direction and fantastic performances. You just let the movie play out in front of your eyes and enjoy the ride. Just really, really good and one of the best I've seen recently.
P.S. Brie Larson is an incredible actress.
P.P.S. The movie is just as good or even better on its 3rd rewatch.
