Spitball Army

6.8
[DVD, library]

Torn about what to think of this film. Is its uneven tone purposeful or a result of wanting to be too many things (a portrait of childhood precocity; a morality play; a vigilante thriller; an apologia of single parenthood; a messianic fable) all at once? There’s no denying the underlying heart of the story, but certain elements – especially the thread involving a potentially violent revenge plot – push that to the very edge of confusion.
