AnAndalusianDog I would like to say it's a great movie just because of its cast but don't fall for it. A two or three months ago I watched the trailer and see Metallica in it. And I was like 'What's this movie been up man?' so I watched it last night. First off, it's not all about a metal-head. It has some serious darkness and depression in it. You can't even laugh loudly when Hesher farts.I must say that. So many clichés show up in the movie. But the actors give the emotions very good and strong. And of course a metal-head post-teen take you into film's atmosphere.In some moments where you hear Hetfield and Lemmy you just smile and be happy.Hesher was acted superb by J GL. You just emphasize him and like him. The child did his best. Character developments were very good.You just feel sad for father, son and grandmother, in the meantime feel good with Hesher.Generally, cliché script and directing and some good musics make this movie watchable.

Floated2 I have read a lot of great things and seen constant praise within the last few years about the film Hesher, which made me very curious as to watching it. Hesher is a very interesting story which is about a young rebel named Hesher (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) who forces his way into a kid's life (TJ played by Devin Brochu) after he spots him in grief by throwing a rock in an old abandoned home. TJ lives with his father (Rainn Wilson) and his grandma. TJ and his father are deeply affected by a tragic car accident involving the mother which lead to her death. Being very vulnerable, this makes an opportunity for Hesher to barrage himself into their house and do whatever he feels. Natalie Portman also plays a part in the film as a sad and depressed cashier which TJ has a crush on.Hesher is a film which is clearly not for everyone as it was strictly a Film Festival film (and limited in theatres) causing it to get overlooked. However as for the film, it displays some spark, energy, constant profanity, and simply a basic no rules all for all shock value rebel drama. I personally expected more from Hesher but it works in parts. Felt too muddled, and a lot of the scenes without Hesher were not as interesting and dragged along. Some of the constant cut-aways I did not like too much. One thing about the film is that it kept you guessing but it never got to its full potential. It did not live up to the hype for myself, as I was lead to believe there was more comedy in the film itself and a higher climax, thus leaving disappointed. After watching Hesher, you are left in a very depressing feel as the films just ends. Though in the final scene Hesher does a good deed as he believes it made up for his long overdue visit but I felt that it was not enough. Maybe if we got to know more about Hesher's back story such as where he came from, this film would have succeeded a little more.

David Rist Hesher is one of the best movies I've seen. Interesting story and amazing performance by Joseph Gordon-Levit, in my opinion one of his best. This is one of the movies that when I finished it, I sat for a while in my couch just thinking about it and trying to figure it out. The thing I love most about it is this sort of chemistry between T.J.(Devin Brochu) and Nicole(Natalie Portman). It is weird cause he's a kid but she's a grown up, but you don't find it weird. Or at least I didn't. It was just like in all the "boy meets girl" movies. And I loved the ending when they all go out for a walk with T.J.'s grandma. So overall, a great movie and a must-see for everyone.

searita4 A Saviour uses a fast track approach with his radical therapy to put those of us experiencing a shattered spirit, and we all do...at different ages and stages in our life. By hyper-extending our physical, emotional and mental security, he uses as many shocks to the heart as needed to jump start our spirits again, giving us new eyes of awareness and the guts to live fully! I absolutely loved this movies message and highly recommend it. Heshers message is awesome. The cast is excellent, with very few characters needed. I haven't seen a movie this good with such a clear cut message plain and simple in eons. Brilliantly written, directed and acted. Long Live Hesher! 10/10
