Our Rating: 2.5 out of 5 (Fairly Good) 'Hesher' is a movie that is definitely NOT for everyone. If you are easily offended or annoyed by off-putting characters, then do yourself a favor and skip this strange and twisted heavy metal meditation on grief.
May 11, 2011 · Hesher attempts to subvert this friendship. He's just plain mean. Portman's character is the most straightforward in the film; she is who she seems to be. Rainn Wilson and Piper Laurie are good actors, and so for that matter is Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and here we can see what good actors do with inexplicable situations and undefined characters.

May 13, 2011 · Don’t fall for it. Despite the presence of Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Natalie Portman (who also produced, for reasons lost on me), this tough-love parable about a grieving family torn out of their inertia by a loser asshole is cringe-inducing, nihilistic, and not particularly good.
