About this product

Product Information

A bullied little boy grieving the death of his mother strikes up an unlikely friendship with a Metallica-loving anarchist in this tender yet unsentimental childhood drama. In the wake of his mother's recent death, 13-year-old TJ (Devin Brochu) finds the bumpy road to emotional recovery all the more difficult due to the dual facts that heÆs bullied at school and that his father (Rainn Wilson) has become a vacant pill-head. Just when it seems like things couldnÆt possibly get any worse, TJ strikes up an unusual friendship with Hesher (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a greasy-haired anarchist with a beat-up van, homemade tattoos, and a soft spot for explosions. The next thing TJ knows, Hesher is sitting in his living room and watching porn on the family television. Later, though, just as TJ summons the courage to pursue a friendship with Nicole (Natalie Portman), a kindly grocery-store clerk who came to his aid in a time of need, an explosive discovery threatens to propel the embattled teen down a dangerous path of self-destruction.

ReviewsNew York Post - Unlike many films that hope to be called black comedy, it does not skimp on either the black or the comedy., NPR - Director Spencer Susser doesn't try to make HESHER anything other than a sociopath - a walking, profanity-spewing id - and to his credit, neither does Gordon-Levitt., Washington Post - Bad role models sometimes make the most interesting movie characters. The ill-mannered, unkempt, foulmouthed and hot-tempered title character of HESHER is just such a walking contradiction., New Orleans Times-Picayune - There's meaning, great meaning, in Susser's wonderfully oddball little film.
