Caz M @CazMartino May 3 This is quite the different kind of movie. So much so that I'm sure most people won't know how to feel about it. All in all it was well acted and a break from the usual Hollywood plot lines. Unique and interesting. See more Hugo S @Hugo_Shudder Apr 29 A conservative family imprisons a teenager in their basement after testifying to his anti-social behaviour on social media. The radical punishment serves the purpose of rehabilitating the boy, who has a particular inclination for atrocious acts of bullying. As the dynamics between the delinquent and the dysfunctional family evolve, the roles of perpetrator and victim unexpectedly blur. "Heel" is a psychological thriller that challenges viewers to question the morally grey boundaries of control and subjugation. Despite its inventive premise and relevant social commentary, the insufficient character development leaves the audience with more questions than answers. On the other hand, some of the characters' choices are deeply questionable, resulting in a narrative that is not always convincing.

It explores the uneasy space between guidance and control, forcing a confrontation with the uncomfortable truth that both neglect and overreach can cause damage, and that the line between them is never clear.

It's an odd flick but way better than most of the garbage out there. See more Seth C @RT46883288 Apr 20 I've never written a single review on a movie in my entire life, besides this one...
