It's easy to take for granted the small wonder that is "Short Term 12" and the things it does so incredibly well. With a passing glance, it might not look like there's a lot here to grab you or blow you away in a conventional, Hollywood manner. But while watching it, writer-director Destin Cretten's sophomore feature does exactly that with the mere power of its rich characters and perfectly told story. And its soul-raising grip lasts long after seeing it.
