Short Term 12

Mental health is something that has become more talked about in youth as of late, as well as films also diving deeper into these themes but it has been a while since one fully embraces it. This film follows Grace, a counselor at a care unit for at-risk teens as she attempts to navigate their mental health as well as her own with past trauma. A film that has a weird effect that while it takes on dark tones, it actually feels pretty light, and that's a balance that not many films can have. This is a film that gives you a lot of stories with time for everyone, even Floyd, and fuck you Floyd
