Why watch this film?
An ex-con struggling to readjust to life in his small town forms an intense bond with his former high school teacher.
"Featuring screenings at festivals like Toronto and SXSW, Outside In has a fairly predictable script: a man who has just been released from prison after 20 years for a crime he didn't commit is struggling to adjust to normal life, which now includes things like smartphones, text messages and internet videos. But Edie Falco more than makes up for it. Her performance is both formidable and vulnerable. In short, this is an honest feature-length film about powerful connections and time lost."
