Bleak Night (2010). 1h 56m | PG-13

“This is a gem of a film. Bleak Night is well worth watching for a wide range of reasons, from the reflective cinematography to the solid acting efforts. Bleak Night is not about a fatheru0026#39;s quest to uncover the truth about his son . . . itu0026#39;s a fuller exploration of the circumstances that led to the event and the young men involved. Thereu0026#39;s a unique flavor to the trio in this situation, one that is not usually explored. I wonu0026#39;t say more than that–the discovery is part of the reason this film rises above other, more usual treatments of the subject.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI especially enjoyed the central metaphor of the train and the railroad tracks, which I did not find clichéd, but rather core to the film and the relationship between the three young men. Bleak Night has stayed with me days beyond its viewing. If youu0026#39;re even the slightest bit interested in the film, give it a chance. I am certainly glad I did.”
