The Last Hammer Blow

While unlikely to find much success outside the festival circuit, since there is little on the surface level to distinguish it from dozens of other minor films, The Last Hammer Blow has a surprisingly subtlety and open ended approach to the nebulous gray area between childhood and adulthood. Instead of chronicling a teenager struggling to take up the mantle of manhood, the film shifts the narrative to allow him to remove the world from his shoulders and learn to live and smile as a child again.
