Review of Short Term 12 (2013) by Velimir S — 08 Jan 2014
A rough film, but I like how real it is. The film is about social workers at a facility for troubled teens. The main theme here seems to be that everyone is a little messed up. Brie Larson is great and beautiful here as the lead (probably the best role I've seen her in), and John Gallagher Jr is fantastic as her boyfriend.
All the kids also do standout jobs (mainly Kaitlyn Dever, Kevin Hernandez, and Keith Stanfield). It's a somewhat touching film, although it is a bit uneven. I really liked it, and I'd say it's one of my personal favorites of 2013.
