No redemption and that's fine

Under discussion:

Half Nelson  (2006)

Grabbing a cliche..this is truly heartwarming..shows true friendship/connection,whatever you want to call it...

A slice of life,(there's another cliche for you),that takes you to the brink of "the dark side",but pulls back,as we look in on these characters.

 I found myself hoping,all the way through this that it wouldnt seek a "redemption" for the character,wouldnt try to "close" the story. I found myself relieved,and gladdened that all is unresolved.

 Not everyones cup of tea,obviously.Not a "big" film,but a signature performance from writer/director and main player.

Probably a one-off.
