Exposure

I can't get over Douglas Smith's performance. It's stellar, it's flawless, it's Oscar-worthy. Supported by also very talented Margo Harshman, it grips from the very start until the credits roll. I consider spending the rest of my life educating people about this little gem of a film that impeccably captures the trauma, its ramifications and the way it affects everyone around. It's never over-the-top and it never downplays the issue. Exposure is like a Mozart piece, where every instrument and every single note is exactly where it should be. With a slightly richer cinematography, it could've easily been one of the best movies I've ever seen, but it's still powerful and thought-provoking, which is more than enough from an indie project.
