Synopsis
A summer that ends childhood for good. 12 and Holding (2006) is Michael Cuesta's coming-of-age drama you can watch online on iFILM. After the senseless death of his twin brother, twelve-year-old Jacob's life splits in two.
Three friends are left to face the things adults would rather ignore. Withdrawn Jacob buries his brother Rudy and quietly plots revenge on the boys he blames for it. Precocious Malee falls for one of her therapist mother's patients. Bullied, overweight Leonard declares war on his family's whole way of living. Three stories, one shared summer, and no road back to being a kid.
Conor Donovan, Zoe Weizenbaum and Jesse Camacho lead the young cast, with Jeremy Renner, Annabella Sciorra and Linus Roache among the adults. Cuesta refuses to soften anything for his characters' age: this is an unsparing film about children, where the hurt is real and the ending offers no easy comfort. One for anyone who values honest indie drama with a dark streak. Stream 12 and Holding (2006) online on iFILM.
