On Rocket Science’s Trailer

There are so many movies to write about — including some great stuff out there in the middle distance — but the canted coming-of-age tale Rocket Science, the very loosely autobiographical feature directorial debut of Spellbound director Jeffrey Blitz, is a real treat. Great performances, including a droll anchoring lead turn by young Reece Thompson, give this movie a certain appreciable honesty on its own skewed terms. I’ll have more next week, but the film’s trailer is available here; it releases August 10 from Picturehouse.
