Synopsis

Grace is a supervisor at a foster-care facility for at-risk teenagers. She is pas­sionate about her work, though she struggles with her own troubled past. When Jayden, a gifted, restless teenager, arrives at the facility, Grace is no longer able to ignore the difficulties of her own childhood.

MUBI's take

Before suiting-up for Marvel to direct Shang-Chi, Destin Daniel Cretton took the Competition Award at SXSW with this impressive debut feature. Featuring Brie Larson, Rami Malek, and Lakeith Stanfield in breakout roles, Short Term 12 is a heartrending human drama of piercing emotional complexity.
