Not an easy film to watch or fully comprehend, but "Short Term 12" is a drama film as eye-opening as it is painful.

Destin Cretton's remake of his pretty fantastic short film (available on the Short Term 12 Blu-ray) falls marginally short in certain regards, but it definitely delivers an interesting story and engaging characters brought to life by Brie Larson's remarkable lead performance. Emotionally, the film never quite reaches the heights that it wishes to achieve, so in the end certain aspects feel a little bit dry. However, it's saved by the fantastic writing, sharp direction, and strong performances. Short Term 12 is a good gem well worth watching.

"All of those days became so short". the movie is about a supervising staff member in the foster care system and she navigates this world while also dealing with her co-worker, and longtime boyfriend. This movie to me has a lot of things that could be better but the movie has great characters and good cast. But at times the movie went a bit slow for me and the movie felt short at the end... in my opinion.
