Review of Short Term 12 (2013) by Johnny H — 09 Mar 2014

This movie is proof that you don't need a big budget or big named actors to make a compassionate and heart felt movie. At first I was confused about what the movie was about in the beginning but when I slowly began to realise the theme of the movie I was sucked in, putting myself in the protagonist's shoes.

Empathy is one of the main themes and it will surely stink with me for months or even years to come. It's a bit melodramatic at times but it fits with the situation of Brie's character.

I would beg all my friends to watch this movie. It really educates you on how serious abuse is and what it does to our young people.
