Disappointing and completely aimless.

** out of **** "Hesher" is not only the name of the new dark comedy from first-time director Spencer Susser, as well as the name of the character that is ultimately at its center; but also a fine piece of terminology most commonly used to describe those who enjoy metal music perhaps a bit too much.

A Quick Tip by woopak_the_thrill

At first look, you’ll know straight away that “Hesher” was going to be one of those movies that would be hard to actually say what the filmmakers had in mind. I mean I think it makes a sort of commentary towards the way we see life, the tonal shifts represent the way we are thrown curve balls along the way, and yet the film feels darkly childish amid all the profanities, the depressing themes and the sociopathic drama the film seems wrapped around in. &nb … more
