I really enjoyed The Kid Detective.
It's a kind of murder mystery. It's sad and dark, but really well done. I think the theme of the movie is revealed when Abe says "I'm struggling to come to terms with the difference with who I am in my head and who I really am." When Abe solves the case of Gracie, the town returns to what everyone imagines it to be. I thought Abe was a great character, lots of insight, capacity to self-reflect, but so much undeveloped potential. Perhaps a representation of the US as a whole.
I thought the movie ended perfectly.
