Short Term 12 (2013)

Written & Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton

This has been one of my top films since it came out. Brie Larson, Lakeith Stanfield, and Rami Malek before anyone knew their names, in a small film about a group home for at-risk teens. Quiet, tender, heartbreaking. The Globe and Mail called it "an understated exploration of empathy" and I’m not sure I can say it any better than that.
