Rating: 7The subject of Towelhead - a thirteen year-old's budding sexuality - is difficult to stomach, so this one's a toughie. I'm such a fan of Alan Ball's writing I'd rather see him using his own material rather than adapting a novel. Mr. Ball attended the screening and I think I liked the film more after hearing him explain why the story appealed to him, which in a nutshell is the complexity of its characters. That's Ball's specialty.
