Viewing Notes

A very thoughtful, well-written story about loss and anger and the effects of both rolled into the volatility of a thirteen year old kid adrift without much parental guidance. I really, really want to give this eight stars but I felt there was something missing that didn’t put it over the top for me. I think it was probably in the editing but who knows.

Regardless, a very good movie with great performances from Aaron Paul and newcomer Josh Wiggins.
