Review of Short Term 12 (2013) by Francisco G — 20 Jan 2014
Heartbreaking but also warm and fuzzy, Short Term 12 keeps things small but very focused on their characters, never negleting them and always finnishing up nicely their story arcs. This is a movie as good as it gets when it comes to portray neglected and abused children (and grown-ups alike), without being too preachy and showing just enough to cause an impact.
Aided by a fantastic and nuanced performanced by Brie Larson, Short Term 12 is a welcome surprise to the indie drama even if it doesn't re-invent the wheel.
