St. Vincent (2014)
8/10
Murray brings it one more time

Warning: Spoilers
The central idea of this movie is so elegant, that you won't make the connection at first. It is Saints, but not in the classical way rather modern saints. As the main character gets the task to babysit a boy which attends St.Patric school. As most of you get this is not a typical public school. It is there that we witness with our eyes what is a saint. This does not activate any stimuli for the viewer, since the protagonist is an old and grumpy man. A man that has a strange view of what a boy should know. A man that goes against the normal canons of our society by bringing an innocent youngster to the race track or to a bar. However as the story unfolds we see that those things, while unusual are not done with bad intent.

The most charming feature of the film is it's simplicity, there are no bad or good guys, just an old retired man and young boy. Kinda reminds me of UP.

Final judgment: An hour, spent with a smile.
