       Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a long-haired, heavy metal psychopath has to be brilliant, right? Especially when he helps young TJ (Brochu) deal with the loss of his mother and alienation from his grieving father (Wilson). Nathalie Portman shows up too, and Hesher moves into the garage.

       What a strange film. But kind of cool.
