Brilliant acting and a near accurate portrayal of the development of a psychopath
I watched this film by accident (thinking it was another film with the same title) and was drawn into the story from the very first shot.
This is a film that has been crafted - a rarity in US film making nowadays. Each shot carefully considered and in tune with the development of the characters as we get to understand their story and who they are.
I am not a fan of child actors, many of whom fall short of portraying strong characters. This kid in this film (Jared Breeze) is definitely an exception. His portrayal of the boy is natural, believable, and very, very strong.
The other actors are just as strong, which brings us a well rounded interaction between them that is as realistic as it could be without being there.
It is a film you have to watch - and not glance at occasionally. The story and the cinematography do the rest to make this one of the best films I have seen in a long time.
