The world around him is tinged with the same bubblegum nostalgia as his memories of youth. It is never made clear, but, presumably, his lack of meaningful cases is representative of his inability to grow up. We cut to his present, run-down self, solving the same petty mysteries as he did in his childhood. She just up and vanished one day (the movie’s opening sequence hints strongly at a kidnapping). His streak grinds to a halt as he is unable to find out what happened to Gracie, his 14 year old schoolmate. A teenage prodigy, he solved over 200 cases in his youth, ranging from petty schoolhouse thefts to identifying car hit-and-run perpetrators. He smells terrible, breath reeking of alcohol, teeth un-brushed. Our protagonist is Abe Applebaum, a 32 year old detective, kind of a loser, who is stuck in the past. The humor doesn’t really land, drama-wise it has interesting ideas but they aren’t realized very effectively.

If you want to know whether I think this movie is worth your time without reading anything else, it’s only ok. I don’t think I wrote anything interesting here, just, fair warning. I try to extract what I can concerning the themes of suspended adolescence and trauma. I couldn’t figure out what I wanted to write about this movie, so it wound up being mostly summary. What grander entrance can paint hope for than canvases coated in red? And he had a brand new color to help him out.
Matisse was a massive figure in the progression of art, constantly pushing his vision of artwork breaking free from its canvas. Cubism and expressionism followed short on its heels, as paintings developed past representation into pure expression.
It took post-impressionism and dialed them up to 11, abandoning accuracy in both form AND color. The success of his work and the short-lived Fauvist movement is undeniable.
