Review of Short Term 12 (2013) by Lawrence S — 05 Jun 2014

Absolutely perfect film to me.. neglected by the Oscars, it's critics rating of 99 and audience rtg of 92 place it ahead of 12 Years a Slave and Gravity both in each rating! This is a MUST SEE film! It's very inspiring that a film this low budget can be a better work of cinematic art than the huge budget productions (just compare this to the boring pastiche of Hunger Games 2, which for me is Agatha Christie's And Then There None mixed with Condon's A Most Dangerous Game and TV's Survivor show -- over fifty year old concepts rehashed with nothing new but the setting and the production expense).
