It’s just nice.
Nice. It’s just a nice film. Not bad, not great. Just nice. Directed by Logan Marshall Green, it’s only around 80 minutes long. An ex con finds an abandoned baby in a dumpster and tries to figure out his next move.

Ethan Hawke isn’t at his best but he does a good job. Elaine Hendrix is the standout even though she has about 8 minutes screen time.

It suffers from a few mis-steps early on because of character choices, and there is one terribly hokey voice over moment towards the end but it did the job for a Saturday night movie.

A Very Good, but Depressing Movie
Russell Millings (Ethan Hawke) as a kid went to prison for 21 years for selling one ounce of Marijuana. He is released and takes a job washing dishes at a burger place. One night he finds a baby in a dumpster and takes it home with him. The note with the baby says the baby’s name is Ella. He doesn’t call the authorities and fears that keeping the baby would be kidnapping. But he keeps the baby. Here is what we have to remember, Russell is a boy in a man’s body and acts like a boy as prison hadn’t changed him to face the world.

This is probably the most depressing movie I have ever watched. He learns from new inroads to the internet that his father had died while he was in prison. I was hoping this was a true story with a happy ending.

The Authorities do claim baby Ella and Russell is also fired from his job at the burger store. He takes a bus to his home in Casper, Wyoming.

The scenes with Russell and Ella are touching, but we see that he has her, at times, laying on the edge of a counter and on the side of a bed where she could fall off. And that does happen and that is how the authorities find out about Ella when Russell took her to a clinic for the bump on her head.

The title has something to do with awards that Russell won in school.

Notable: Elaine Hendrix as Diane Spring, Russell’s bus mate and she is on her way to Denver. These scenes with Diane are kind of goofy and could have been done better.

However, all in all, the acting all around is excellent. We did wish Russell spoke more quickly when interviewed, but keep in mind he is a kid in a man’s body and is terrified of authorities.

In Casper, Wyoming he visits his father’s grave and visits the bank to see what the keys to the safe deposit box hold for him. His father had given him the keys, but never visited him In prison. There is just a letter from his father in the box.

When all is said an done you will wish this was a true story as did I. And It is here that you will really need that Kleenex box as did I. (9/10)
