很棒的影片、深刻的故事、精彩的演出。至少是部让人印象深刻的影片。我希望它的发行量能再大些，这样所有人都可以欣赏到了。这是一个成长的故事，讲述了一个可爱的年轻人挣扎于诱惑、家庭和爱之间。编剧、导演兼演员Rob Moretti如坐过山车般的驾驭着整部影片。影片在一个产生和抵抗着复原和破坏的比较灰暗的主题下揭示了忠诚和艰辛的激烈冲突。每个角色的心中都有魔鬼，但他们却被相同的善良和坚强所驱逐着。Eben Gordon 是相当有才华的，我迫不及待地想要看他的下一个拍片计划。他饰演主角David，他对角色的诠释让我想起了Edward Norton在"American X".里的出演。他从年轻和无知一步步迈向了坚强和成熟。
Rob Moretti把David的老师Kenny演活了，两个演员所塑造的师生关系是有力的、真实的、忠诚的，它让我产生强烈的愉悦感，当然也让我记起了我初爱的不幸。除了作演员，Rob Moretti还要担任编剧和导演，他和Gordon配合的如此默契实在让我印象深刻。其他演员也很出色，尽管我希望出演Jerry的Frankie Faison能有更多的戏份。
一部错综复杂的影片，一场美妙的经历。让人印象非常深刻。
Plot:
An autobiographical film taken from the experiences of writer-director Rob Moretti, CRUTCH is a coming-of-age tale about a young man's struggle with family problems and substance abuse. Behind a facade of suburban middle class perfection, David's home life is falling apart. As he tries to cope with the impossible situation, the troubled and impressionable teenager falls under the spell of Kenny, a georgous, thirty-something, has-been actor turned theatre coach.
When Kenny's "support" escalates into seduction, David slowly decends into an abyss of drinking and drug addition from which he must escape if he is to survive. CRUTCH is a dramatic tale of the confusion of youth and the difficulties in finding oneself.
