Grace, een twintiger die de leiding heeft over een diverse groep tieners in een opvanghuis, vervult haar job met humor en de nodige portie nuchterheid. Hoewel ze hier vlekkeloos in slaagt, is haar persoonlijk leven labiel en vlucht ze voor haar verleden, vaak ten koste van haar relatie met haar vriend Mason, die tevens haar collega is. De confrontatie met de problemen uit haar jeugd gebeurt onverwachts wanneer Jayden arriveert in het tehuis en Grace zichzelf tegenkomt. (Remain in Light)

Recensie (2)
Short Term 12 is a pleasant, subtle, independent film that will surprise you with its power. Brie Larson plays the character of Grace, caring supervisor at a foster-care facility for at-risk teenagers who tries to help these kids. Progressively we discover that her own past is very troubled. She sees herself in a newly arrived teenager, Jadyn, whose pain and traumas open up Grace's own old wounds. The film mixes atmosphere brilliantly: the fates of the children are challenging, but the emotions are portrayed unobtrusively, and by the end, you're left with a pleasant sense of hopefulness. Brie Larson gives one of her best performances here.

This film and its creators deserve a lot of admiration, just like the social workers in similar centres and institutions. It doesn’t have any known faces or great production values, but it does have a strong topic, a convincing execution and effective emotions. And outsider on paper – even the synopsis is not very attractive – but it’s actually one of the best indie films of last year.
