The Kid Detective
“No longer a kid. Not much of a detective.”
ComedyDramaMystery
A once-celebrated kid detective, now 31, continues to solve the same trivial mysteries between hangovers and bouts of self-pity. Until a naive client brings him his first 'adult' case, to find out who brutally murdered her boyfriend.
VIBE
A grown man still playing detective, this film feels like a faded polaroid of lost potential. It's a melancholic, wry, and darkly funny dive into arrested development, wrapped in a surprisingly compelling mystery.
