In the dead of night during the scorching summer of 1969, Charlie is startled when he is woken by local mixed-race outcast Jasper Jones outside his window. Jasper leads him deep into the forest and shows him something that will change his life forever, setting them both on a dangerous journey to solve a mystery that will consume the entire community. In an isolated town where secrecy, gossip and tragedy overwhelm the landscape, Charlie faces family breakdown, finds his first love, and discovers what it means be truly courageous. (Madman Entertainment)

When someone wants to shoot a movie with a kid as the main character, they should at least make sure that the kiddo acts like a kiddo, not like an adult man who doesn’t even notice that people around him have been talking about a hanging. In about half of the movie, I realized that I wasn’t going to see anything interesting, and I’ve had a hard time finishing the movie. A shame.
