I agree with most of the posts on this film.
It sure did not deserve the NC-17 rating,
This story of man/boy-(no sex scenes) is very well made. This is the first film for the director & I will be interested in seeing his next film, The same goes for the acting which ranges from excellent (Brian Cox & Paul Franklin Dano) to over done by most of the rest of cast,
For a non typical Hollywood film the ending is pure Hollywood & did hurt my appreciation for the film.
Some of the dialogue was hard to understand as the actors were mumbling.
Over all I felt I saw a good film but not a great one to be seen again
rating **1/2 78/100 points IMDb rating 6
