Review of Short Term 12 (2013) by Kj P — 01 Mar 2014
1, 2, 3... Okay tears go ahead. "Short Term 12" is the kind of film that you do not get very often and is so genuine in it's story that you feel compelled to applaud when the credits role, even if you are sitting alone for the viewing.
The story follows a group of young adults as they take care of a facility for abused adolescents and do their best to correct what their parents have done throughout their lives. Once you get to know these characters, every story, and almost every line of dialogue that these kids deliver will have you tearing up.
These young actors were chosen perfectly and I really believed I was watching these lives evolve before my eyes. I cannot complain about any aspect of this film, because everything, down to the editing and sound, was done very well.
I have no reason not to say this is one of my favourite films of 2013. It's a must see, but have a strong heart ready.
