10 June 2007: Bristol Cinema - Half Nelson
Raw and unsentimental yet brimming with humanity. Half Nelson examines the everyday exploits of a functioning addict and an apprentice drug dealer with such absorbing detail there's no need for contrived shoot-outs and OD panic scenes.
'Gosling's performance of the charming but flawed teacher is completely credible, so nuanced and touching that we root for him in spite of his capacity for self-destruction. Shareeka Epps is equally convincing in her powerfully understated performance as his tough but sensitive young friend. Co-written by Anna Boden and supported by an outstanding original score by Broken Social Scene, Half Nelson "stands and delivers" one of the finest films of the year.'
'it doesn't resort to the easy platitudes of teaching, or drug addiction, or relationships. The film let each of these elements be multifaceted and complex. It dances around a certain line of discomfort, but lets the discomfort stand.'
'"Half Nelson" paints a grim and harrowing picture of drug addiction and loneliness, and much of it is painfully depressing. But there's a tremendous warmth working under the surface of Fleck's film which prevents it from feeling nihilistic. Dan and Drey are both good people, trying to make their way in a world that doesn't always reward them for simply being good.'
'A riveting study in dislocation and connection, hurt and healing, with Gosling revealed as potentially the most gifted actor of his generation.'
'a fine piece of work: reticent, intelligent, wholly devoid of triumphalism or self-pity.'
