Well done Carl Barron, well done indeed.

I really liked this movie too.

I know it's not important but the imdb rating feels unfairly low (5.9 currently)

I'd give it an 8/10 personally but feel like it should have at least a 7.5 user rating.

A couple of things dragged it down a bit (the scene where the police show up during the scuffle with the dog bashing guy, something about that whole part felt off) but overall it was very enjoyable.

I experienced a very similar childhood trauma that Manny did too, so I could relate.
