Russ Millings has just been released from prison after serving 21 years for a 3rd strike conviction for possessing an ounce of marijuana. As he tries to adapt to a world he doesn’t recognize – including trying to learn how to use the internet – he finds an abandoned baby in a dumpster behind the fast food restaurant where he works as a dishwasher. Unsure of what to do, and caught between impulses of kindness and panic, Russ soon realizes this could be his chance at redemption.

very short film-y but not baaadd. sweet when it’s just ethan hawke trying to adapt to the world around him and stops working when anyone else talks and tries to attempt some sort of “comedy”. there’s this character who appears and basically does this

“I love you son. That can’t change the past, but the past can’t change that” made me bawl my eyes out I’m so glad this ended with a fresh start for him

This one probably hit too close to home to leave any objective affirmations about (same goes for the nitpicks).
But it may have catapulted Ethan Hawke into being my all time favorite actor. The humanity and empathy he brings to his roles is indelible.
