“Dark. Very, very dark, and profane, and vulgar, and raw, and rough, and funny and sacrilegious and did I mention vulgar. But I loved it! Itu0026#39;s real life. This film yields one the most interesting discussions about how God is speaking through films. A fracked-up family. A pryomaniacal, head-banging, angel of death. A sweet and sexy grocery clerk. And Metallica music what more do you need? This film is Psalm 88. Itu0026#39;s a boy screaming to the heavens, u0026quot;Why God? Where are You? Why donu0026#39;t you help me?u0026quot; Itu0026#39;s a once happy and bright life ruined by a car wreck. A mother killed. A son trying to be a man. A father dealing with depression. And a strange, reluctant u0026quot;savioru0026quot; that brings the family to the precipice of death; and life.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI think the greatest theme in this film comes when Hesher says he lost a (body part), but he has another one. Yes, the boy lost his mom, and his dad his wife, but they still have each other. Life is completely messed up, but we have each other.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJoseph Gordon-Levitt, Natalie Portman, Rainn Wilson, Devin Brochu: beautifully acted. This film is the epitome of Beauty from Ugliness, Life from Death, Sacred from Profane.”
