"The Night Clerk"

This is the epitome of an indie film. Slow moving. Excellent writing. And great cinematography. Tye Sheridan plays Bart, a twenty something young man who has Asberger Syndrom. He has a job as a receptionist at a motel. He's intelligent but has a hard time communicating normally. Bart has one of the rooms in the motel rigged with surveillance equipment, ostensibly to help him learn how to converse with people. When he witnesses a murder, he rushes to the room where he is caught. Of course, he becomes the key suspect and he's reluctant to let on what he knows. Helen Hunt plays his supportive mother, who tries to make his life as normal as possible. The acting is great and the movie will keep you guessing right till the end.
3.5 out of 5 stars
