A 20-something supervising staff member of a foster care facility navigates the troubled waters of that world alongside her co-worker and longtime boyfriend.

Short Term 12 is told through the eyes of Grace, a twenty-something supervisor at a foster-care facility for at-risk teenagers. She is passionate and tough, a formidable caretaker of the kids in her charge – and in love with her long-term boyfriend and co-worker, Mason.
Grace and Mason struggle to help Marcus, an intense, quiet kid who is about to turn 18, cope with the difficulty of having to leave the facility. But Grace’s own difficult past, added to the surprising future that suddenly presents itself, throw her into unforeseen confusion, made all the sharper by a new arrival, Jayden, a gifted but troubled teenage girl with whom she has a charged connection.

RECEPTION

The film was greeted enthusiastically by critics and audiences alike at the 2013 SXSW Film Festival. SlashFilm wrote, "The whole thing just feels perfect or magical, a shining example of what cinema is all about", adding, "The performances are mindblowing, the writing sharp, and the direction beautiful. It’s a very special movie."In Varie ty, critic Peter Debruge wrote “the stunning SXSW fest winner puts the recent Park City competition lineup to shame… this compelling human drama finds fresh energy in the inspirational-teacher genre, constantly revealing new layers to its characters”.

The Hollywood Reporter called the film “genuinely moving” and “effortlessly balanced… Brett Pawlak's handheld camerawork and Cretton's unsentimental direction have a frankness that acknowledges the dramatic extremes in these lives without needing to parade it before the audience”. Brie Larson’s performance in particular has garnered wide critical acclaim, with critic Katie Walsh of The Playlist writing, “[Larson] manages to convey her character as someone fierce and strong and steely, and also utterly fragile, delicate, scared and broken,” going on to add, “It’s an incredible emotional and physical performance, and she’s a whirlwind.”"Particularly instrumental in achieving this uninflected realism are locations that look like life."
"What remains is a highly specific world that's always relatably human. Everything feels bracingly authentic from the messy communal spaces, to the cramped offices and empty dorm rooms with cherished mementos from frequently uprooted lives occasionally spotted clinging pathetically to otherwise blank walls. Crucially, the ensemble acting is equally convincing."
As of November 26, the film has received a Certified Fresh rating of 98% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 121 reviews. The average rating is 8.5/10 and the general consensus is that "Short Term 12 is an emphatic, revealing drama that pulls audiences into the perspective of neglected youths.
