Nick - Watched this for the first time this morning. I don't know why I love depressing movies, I should really try to examine that side of me. Anyway, I love this movie. Currently holding position in my "all time favorite" slot. I'd go into why I love it but i'd rather you watch it so we can just talk about it together. Maybe even cry. 10/10

Levi - Short Term 12 made me feel kind of old, because everyone who worked at 'short term 12' was like mid 20's taking care of underprivileged kids and here I am almost 30. I kept putting myself in their position and I knew right from the get-go that I wouldn't be able to hang with them. There were powerful scenes of struggle and tribulations, but also of friendship and compassion, the latter of which is what really got me. The revealing of character didn't seem pushed or rushed, but very natural, which was refreshing, you didn't expect to learn more about a character, but then you would. Drinking wine while watching this movie and with a cat in my lap, I feel like a single mid 40's mom, and I'm loving every minute of it. 9/10
