Nigga I've been waiting for this one too. This first trailer doesn't disappoint either. '71 was a fire fucking movie. I can't wait to see what Yann does here.
they needed a director who actually cared about the story and the issue and a main character who could actually act. MM and the sister carried the shit out of this movie.
Yes, the younger Rick is awkward on camera, he remains stonefaced amidst chaotic scenes unfolding around him, and some of his antics don't feel believable.
But guess what, that's the charm and absurdity of his character and storyline. It actually works here, because 15 yr olds are awkward, and non-reactive to shit when they simply don't grasp the gravity of their actions.
I don't think the film suffered at all from the lead's inexperience. It actually lends itself to the film. Now would I want to see buddy in a different film with the same chops? Probably not.
