The Kid Detective

The Kid Detective Movie Title Card
The Kid Detective Movie Still

“It’s difficult to accept the difference between who you are in your head and who you are in the world.”

A completely sublime film that took me by surprise — a comedy noir with a wonderful premise (a kid detective that grows up and becomes a private eye in a one horse town); gleefully light yet made for grown-ups – the only quibble I can think of that lets it down is some tv-level cinematography.
