Another American film that me and Jéssica watched last week. Pretty decent one. Story of a father and kid who have to go through the pain and suffering of losing a mother/wife to a car accident, and still have to cope with the presence of a rather bizarre individual that emanates anger and indifference (excellently played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt). Hesher shows us an interesting way of constructing a peculiar character: Hesher is the façade that expresses T. J.'s hate for losing his mother, a mirror through which the little lad sees himself and which he uses to give vent to anger. A bothersome challenge that defies the senses of order and convention. No boundaries for Hesher, and for Gordon-Levitt's performance.
Only the occasional soundtrack by Metallica sounds a bit cheesy and out of place sometimes. That put me off during some moments of the film's experience.
