Exposure

I can't get over Douglas Smith's performance. It's stellar, it's flawless, it's Oscar-worthy. Supported by the also very talented Margo Harshman, it grips from the very start until the credits roll. I'm considering spending the rest of my life educating people about this little gem of a film that impeccably captures the trauma, its ramifications, and the way it affects everyone around. It's never over-the-top, and it never downplays the issue. Exposure is like a Mozart piece, where every instrument and every single note is exactly where it should be. With slightly richer cinematography, it could've easily been one of the best movies I've ever seen, but it's still powerful and thought-provoking, which is more than enough from an indie project.
