⭐ Featured Review

An authentic feeling tale, with a gritty look and a nicely unwarming air to it
by bob the moo β€’ 2015-02-14

"Whether it is The Wonder Years on television, or any number of coming-of-age films, they do generally have the common approach of being at least vaguely warm and nostalgic towards the time being recreated; even in stories which have challenges or hardships, ultimately the fact that they are being looked back on by someone older and wiser, manages to at least make such hardships appear part of a journey to a better place. I have nothing against these films, but in the case of Jerrycan there is a certain pleasure in finding it as a rough tale which really doesn't do that to the same degree...."
