Sling Blade


A slow-moving yet delightful drama. A somewhat-backward man is released from a prison for the criminally insane, after serving 25 years for a double murder he committed as a child. He returns to his home town, and befriends a young boy. As a consequence of this, he also makes friends with the boy's mother, which somewhat upsets the mother's boyfriend. From there, the drama builds to its conclusion...
