Billy the Kid / USA / 2007

The Billy of the title is a 15-year-old in Maine. The film follows him loosely, through his daily activities at school, at home, or to a local diner that employs the latest receiver of his affections (he shows up one evening dressed strategically in a gi). Billy exudes an odd sort of charisma; he’s at once naïve, frustrated, and peculiarly intelligent—in one scene he demonstrates his highly unorthodox proficiency at the electric guitar (he manipulates the strings from the top of the neck). The film is best described as a portrait, and as such it is slight but nonetheless earnest.
