Title: A Dark Tale with a Bright Heart
Review: A stunning, underrated film about the fragility of boys as represented by Joe Henry. Whaley shows amazing control and subtlety. Even the smallest details resound. Though things seems hopeless for the protagonist, the fact that the movie is based on the director's own life and he transcended those circumstances give it a kind of brightness and optimism despite the surface bleakness of the material. Wonderful performances, beautifully-shot, sparingly but powerfully written.
