Directed by Azazel Jacobs • 2011 • United States
Starring John C. Reilly, Jacob Wysocki, Bridger Zadina

This refreshingly authentic, wonderfully funny coming-of-age portrait sidesteps genre cliches to show the experience of misfit youth in its full, complicated humanity. Terri (Jacob Wysocki) is an overweight fifteen-year-old facing bullying at school and challenges at home. When his struggles come to the attention of a caring vice principal (John C. Reilly), Terri’s life begins to gradually change as he forges tentative connections with those around him. Built around superb performances from Reilly and newcomer Wysocki, TERRI offers an unsentimental and emotionally layered look at what it means to grow up different.
