The Lesser Blessed2012

This is a tough film to write about. The scenes are often quite short, yet they produce slices of the life of a young man haunted by the terrible memory of sexual molestation and his fiery revenge that affected him physically and mentally through his youth. It's apparent that he told no one about the sexual incident by his friend's father, and is scorned by many people. His love for Juliet is tender, and their one magical moment stands out as the film's finest. In the end he knows himself better and learns to live with his deformity. He also knows that his mother and her lover will form a bond that includes him as well. There are conversations throughout the film that were difficult to understand. I wish this movie had been sub-titled. All in all, a moody and sensitive film.
