Billy the Kid (Graded)

"I'm not black, I'm not white, not foreign, just different in the mind. Different brains, that's all," explains 15-year-old Billy in Jennifer Venditti's provocative coming of age film. Billy's intuitive commentary & intimate verite footage reveal a unique attitude as he responds to a painful childhood, first time love & his experience as an outsider in small town Maine. By turns humorous & disturbing, this portrait challenges the viewer to understand a triumphant teen on his own terms.

Grade: A -
