Jack


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes

This drama puts us squarely in the shoes of young Jack, who gets into trouble and attempts to survive on the streets with his younger brother while they look for their wild mother. The young actors create authentic characters to invest in and while it's never horrific or dark, it's certainly a grim journey you go along with.

Beautifully shot with a casual observational style this was enthralling whilst maintaining a quiet natural tone. And they nailed the ending with a really simple short scene. Good stuff.
