Excellent quality in Mean Creek

Mean Creek

Director: Jacob Aaron Estes

Cast: Rory Culkin, Trevor Morgan, Scott Mechlowicz, Brandon Williams

Cert: 15

An excellent ensemble piece from writer-director Estes and his knock-out cast of young actors which moves with silky ease from one storyline to the next and never loses our interest in the characters.

George is the hub of the story, a bully but with some redeeming features whose video diary carries us along. All the inter-weaving plots and twists are given careful consideration without moralising and it's a fine showcase for quality writing, directing and acting.

Star Rating: 4/5
