Reviews
As long as we remember that this is a work of fiction, then it isn't a bad little runner. Aaron Taylor-Johnson and an extremely dapper Billy Bob Thornton engender some interest in their characters and as such, you do find yourself starting to care for them. ATJ plays an out-of-control druggie with little, he thinks, to live for; is sent to a rehab centre and meets Lilly (Odessa Young). The film develops sensitively - if, at times, angrily - and does offer us a little considered insight into the worlds of the carers and the cared-for. Nothing you won't have seen (or, likely, read) before and it is maybe just a bit too long, but it does deserve a viewing.
