Joe

Directed by David Gordon Green

Gary is a young lad from a remote town in Mississippi who is subject to constant physical abuse at the hands of his alcoholic father. One day he turns up at Joe’s workplace looking for work. Joe takes him on, but it soon becomes clear that the benevolent boss has his own demons to face. David Gordon Green’s understated drama profits from one of Nicolas Cage’s finest performances.
