Synopsis
The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete (2013) is a drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by George Tillman Jr. and featuring Jennifer Hudson, Anthony Mackie and Jeffrey Wright in supporting roles. At the centre are two kids left entirely on their own in a Brooklyn housing project.
When both their mothers are taken by police on the same summer day, thirteen-year-old Mister (Skylan Brooks) and younger Pete (Ethan Dizon) have to work out how to eat, stay hidden from child services and survive the months ahead — without a plan, and without much trust in each other, because they were not friends before any of this.
Tillman doesn't soften the ending. What makes it land is Brooks's performance: a kid holding everything together through sheer stubbornness while the world around him gets smaller. Stream The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete (2013) online on iFILM.
