Love and Trust Conquer All in the Instantly-Loveable 'Short Term 12'

An earnest and well-made independent film – small in its scope, original in its perspective and more importantly, honest towards its big ambitions – is hard to come by, and when it does, the occasion calls for a celebration. Destin Cretton's second feature film Short Term 12, which became the breakout sensation of this year's SXSW Film Festival by winning the Grand Jury Prize as well as the Audience Award, is one gem of a film that deserves all the accolades awarded to it (so far), and (hopefully) further recognition for its innovative writer/director, as well as its brilliant lead actress - Brie Larson.
