Half Nelson
March 18th, 2006
It’s hard to teach inner city kids, so who’s to blame idealistic teacher Dan (Ryan Gosling) for the occasional coke binge? Well, maybe it’s not such a good idea to pass out in the girl’s bathroom at school after a few puffs on the crack pipe. Drey (Shareeka Epps), the girl who finds him, has her own set of problems. Very well written & performed indie flick–in fact, finally, again, a true indie flick, not “but it cost less than $20 million” Brokeback. Terrific double feature with Down to the Bone. Directed by Ryan Fleck.
