Crutch (film)
Crutch is a 2004 autobiographical coming of age film written and directed by Rob Moretti.
Anita Gates of the New York Times writes Crutch doesnt have the texture or power of Blue Car, Karen Moncrieffs 2002 film with Agnes Bruckner as the neglected, emotionally needy teenager and David Strathairn as the high school poetry teacher who takes advantage ... it does sound a note of real anguish, however. Don Willmott of Filmcritic.com writes Crutch comes across as an extremely personal exorcism of Morettis suburban gothic adolescence, for better and for worse. Like the scribblings in a teenagers diary, the film vacillates between insight and exaggeration. Movies Online opines CRUTCH is a captivating and brutally honest look into love, loss, lies and our own dark secrets. However, on the negative side, DVD Verdict opines that Rob Morettis Crutch is the kind of film I feel bad for not liking. Its awfully sincere, and, darn it, everyone involved tries real hard, but the movie still comes up short.
