HALF-NELSON is about the odd relationship between a teacher and a student when one finds out the other has a serious drug problem.
It does not make a huge point, which one would expect it to after such high praise -- but the story it does tell is effective and evocative in its small way.
If you followed this up with LARS AND THE REAL GIRL, or whatever it's called, you'd almost think you were watching the same film in terms of picture quality. Very indy, very human.
