Acting good and realistic almost doccie like film giving it a very realistic feel...but ohhhh so drawwwwn out!...I just wanted it to end before I aged out and turned the light's out!
An 18 yr old must leave foster care. He's never known focus or direction. His goal is survival. He goes from job to job without commitment to any of them. Eventually his life falls apart with no one to turn to but the only person who was actually nice to him once. It seems everybody else in this movie is there to be mean and uncaring to him.
This movie has stretches of movement without dialog. Long pointless scenes. Everything looks used. A bit difficult to watch because the plot is a long time coming. Imogen Poots as 'Joan' is a bright spot in his life in the viewers watching.

I was in a trance for most of the run time. It nosedives a little bit in the end, tacking on a plot that was barely introduced before and making it the main point of the film, but I'll give it a pass because that's not what the film is about. It's an experience. I could not take my eyes off the screen for a second. Amazing work from everybody involved. Definitely watching this one again!
This is a small, independent movie. It is mostly set in Waco, Texas and mostly shot there. I recognized some of the areas from my several visits a few years back. They even have a scene of throwing tortillas off the Waco Suspension Bridge, a ritual most Baylor college students go through.
Texas native Tye Sheridan is the main character, Richie, an orphan who has banged around the foster system for most of his life. He is just turning 18 and as such will be emancipated. But how prepared is a barely educated 18-yr-old to jump right into adult life?
This story is about that difficulty and the eventual trouble he finds himself in. It is hard to find a real purpose for this movie other than to tell an interesting fictional story but one which may be close to reality for some in a similar situation.
My wife and I watched this at home on DVD from our public library, however she abandoned it when things got a bit weird in the middle of the movie.

Not terrible. Not great. I was expecting a depressing film about aging out of the foster care system, but this was merely the setting for the film, although it's definitely depressing. The cinematography was interesting, and some scenes were shot quite beautifully. The actors did a fine job. Overall, it was just okay.
