A Somewhat Gentle Man
“Sometimes gangsters need hugs too.”
ComedyCrimeDrama
After serving a 12-year sentence for killing the man that slept with his wife, a man ponders whether he should try and reconcile with his family, or take revenge on those who turned him in.
VIBE
A brooding ex-con navigates a world of regret and simmering violence. It's a stark, character-driven drama that feels both weary and intensely personal, with a dry, dark sense of humor lurking beneath the surface.
