Story

Produced by Kevin Spacey, who also features in a central role, this film tells the story of the young murderer Leland Fitzgerald (Ryan Gosling), imprisoned in a juvenile detention facility for killing a retarded boy. Here he comes into contact with prison teacher, Pearl Madison (Don Cheadle), an aspiring writer who sees the boy’s story as his own chance to write a bestseller. Director Matthew Ryan Hoge tells a disturbing and melancholy tale of youthful solitude and waywardness in clear and unpretentious images.
