I found a "Kind of Hush" to be a profoundly moving experience. The young, mostly unknown, actors bring a fresh, simple yet highly skillful presence to the screen. The direction subtly goes beyond the anger and the violence to reveal the love, affection and support that exists between the young boys. This feels particularly significant considering they are attempting to deal with the pain and distress brought into their lives by others. Writer/director Brian Stirner shows sensitivity and talent in his first film. Excellent performances by all the cast; there are also great moments of humour. If this is an example of how Stirner works, I very much look forward to his future projects.
