TMC: First trailer of Hesher, starring Joseph Gordon Levitt, Natalie Portman.
A strange, unpleasant film that lacks the tools to successfully get its point across; it knows what it wants to say but not what it wants to be. Full review by Chris Pandolfi.
Metro Times: For those not versed in dated mall lingo, a "hesher" was a particular breed of long-haired, pre-grunge headbanger, similar to a burnout; but usually distinguished by more grime and a nastier attitude. Joseph Gordon-Levitt has attitude in spades as the title character, a living personification of the scraggly social misfits who'd do donuts in suburban parking lots.
Detroit News: Hesher is a beautiful mess.
With his long, scraggly hair, skin-and-bones bod and obscene, amateurish tattoos, he looks like some heavy metal washout.
But then one of the beauties of "Hesher" is you never really know who he is, or where he came from. He's a wastoid of mystery.
Oh my god Natalie Portman is in everything! I thought the trailer was really good. Can't believe I haven't heard of this yet.
It's just a bonus Rainn Wilson is in there too.
Wow. This looks like it could be pretty good. Great cast. I'm not sure how I haven't heard about it yet either. I will definitely be looking out for it though. Rainn, JGL and Portman. Love 'em all.
This looks pretty good, sundance films are always fun.
I like his tattoo also haha
You know me, any movie with Portman will be watched by me. She is awesome and seems to be doing many roles. I hope she doesn't overdo it.
