Daniel Zolghadri, under the name Robert, delivers a noteworthy performance in this brief drama. He portrays a young cartoonist who finds himself arrested for trespassing in the house belonging to his deceased art teacher, someone he greatly admired. This incident fades into the background as the public defender representing him becomes intrigued by his straightforward and honest approach to drawing. It’s through her that he meets another client, Wallace, played by Matthew Maher. Wallace is a character of considerable oddity; it turns out he previously worked on comic book illustrations, prompting the young man to seek friendship and guidance from him. Certain moments feel somewhat contrived—particularly those set in the pharmacy and his parents' bathroom during Christmas—but generally, this is an enjoyable blend of unusual characters and youthful ambition as viewed through the perspective of a seventeen-year-old. The film’s production values are fairly simple, yet it manages to be humorous at times, though not consistently laugh-out-loud funny; instead, it offers a more subtle humor that could connect with parents navigating adolescence. His basement roommates, Barry, portrayed by Michael Townsend Wright, and his peculiar friend Steven (Cleveland Thomas Jr.), introduce a quirky dimension to the already unconventional story, which wanders considerably before arriving at an ending that is simultaneously disturbing and amusing, all while his pimple-covered best friend Miles (Miles Emanuel) uncovers a new purpose for a pen nib. Will he discover his inner self? I suggest you watch it and see—it’s deserving of ninety minutes of your attention.
