St. Vincent

St. Vincent (2014) unfolds around the unlikely bond between an irascible war veteran and a young boy whose parents have recently divorced. Oscar Isaac’s abrasive but lovable curmudgeon finds redemption and camaraderie in the innocence and chaos of childhood, while Ben Mendelsohn’s boy navigates the complexities of adolescence with newfound wisdom. Their relationship is a blend of sardonic wit and tender moments, set against a New York backdrop that’s as much a character as the flawed humans populating its streets.
