Review of Short Term 12 (2013) by Wayne M — 08 Jan 2014
A gem of a film. Extremely moving and beautifully handled. Set in a short term facility for troubled youths, an instant connection is made to the youths inside and the young staff that run the facility.
Brie Larson is outstanding as Grace who looks after the teens and has her own troubled past to deal with. There is so much pathos and heart on display here. Some scenes will easily bring tears. My only slight quibble was that the ending felt a little too wrapped up.
But this an impressive film on many levels. Authentic and honest to the core.
