Snuggled into the cineplex opposite such monster hits as “Gravity” and “Captain Phillips” is this small slice of reality, written and directed by 30-year old filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton (“I Am Not a Hipster”).
See it if you can.
Cretton took a job at a center for troubled teenagers while in film school in California, and stayed on for two years. That experience led to a short film that won big at Sundance in 2009, and is now a feature-length movie starring Brie Larson (Kate in “The United States of Tara”) and featuring a host of young actors from current or former TV series and movies.
