Hirschfield Series - Ten Thousand Saints

(Berman/Pulcini, USA, 2015, 113 minutes)

Shuttling between bucolic Vermont and the grime of late-’80s New York, this movie treats a teen’s especially ill-timed pregnancy as a potentially happy moment of truth, a juncture at which varied shards of a few broken homes might be assembled into something like a family, if only the right combination can be found. “Smart, sensitive, and accessible to both young and middle-aged viewers”––John DeFore, Sundance Festival Review.
