Short Term 12 Is A Wonderful Film That Can Be Found On Blu-ray & DVD This January
I did plenty to try and promote Short Term 12 during its limited release late in the summer (Review HERE), but still wish it got more notoriety. It does not hurt that it is currently up for many different critics and film group awards, with maybe some chances at Oscar, but we will see. Regardless, the Brie Larson-starring drama is definitely worth checking out and can be seen on Blu-ray and DVD on January 14th. Developed out of similar experiences from writer/director Destin Daniel Cretton, the film is based around a twenty-something supervisor at a group home for troubled teens and issues involving them, as well as her own life. If is a fine film to seek out and you can read on to learn more about this upcoming release.

SHORT TERM 12 is told through the eyes of Grace (Brie Larson, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, 21 Jump Street), a twenty-something supervisor at a group home for troubled teens. She’s passionate, tough, and in love with her long-term boyfriend and co-worker, Mason (John Gallagher Jr., The Newsroom). But Grace’s difficult past, her fierce independence – and the arrival of a distraught new girl at the facility – create complications that push Grace and Mason to the brink. How this couple overcomes those challenges is what makes this film an entirely unique love story. Grace and Mason come to embrace a surprising future together, discovering truth, humor, and family in unexpected places along the way.
In his Los Angeles Times Review, Kenneth Turan proclaims “A WONDER. EXCEPTIONAL, MOVING AND INTIMATE. Honestly earns every bit of its emotional impact.” New York Times critic Manohla Dargis says the film is “A DELICATE INTENSITY OF FEELING… a terrific, completely persuasive Brie Larson…” Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly declares “GRADE A: A drama of astonishing emotional purity.”
