Review of Short Term 12 (2013) by Four Star F — 18 Feb 2014
This is an extremely powerful film having to do with a short term living home for abandoned and troubled kids. Brie Larson, who is one of my new favorites, gives a wonderful performance that should have gotten her nominated for an Oscar.
Unfortunately this is a little known gem. This film had a gritty and realistic aspect that I could relate to, because its director and writer Destin Daniel Cretton hails from San Diego. He does not shy away from the tough issues, but he also shows a moving and beautiful flip side to this story.
Short Term 12 can be hard to watch at times but it seems that what it really depicts is reality for many young people.
