The Forger (2012)
9/10
Film about belonging & its impostors
22 July 2012
Anyone who's felt out of anyplace safe in their lives will relate to this movie.

Many who have no clue about the subject matter (abandonment, talent with zero outlet or nurturing) will themselves be lost and clueless.

When you're lost most will try and use you for whatever they see of value to them in you. Even those who see something worth helping along will not be perfect; to the lost, any flaw will be magnified. They will see a forgery, as so much of their own lives seems like a bad knockoff.

This film gives you some sense of that, with broken dream being the cracks that's all you see ahead. Maybe between those a true light shines through that's worth believing in.

We should all be so lucky.

Molina, Bacall & Hutscherson are terrific.
