Best of the Year - 2013: Short Term 12


 

A melodrama about trouble teenagers in a group home may not sound like something you'd want to watch, but this movie is transcendent. We follow multiple young people as they try to get their life in order through difficult times. What makes this movie unique is that the leaders of the home are imperfect as well. The drama between the adults blurs the distinction between those who are helping and those who need help. This movie is streaming on Amazon Prime and I strongly urge you to check it out even though my mom thought it "too much heavy troubled behavior to be entertaining."
