The Wanderers (2013)
Well worth the price of admission

An enjoyable, well-made indie, free from the pretension that usually comes with the... is "indie" a genre? It's the writing that really makes The Wanderers stand out. It takes skill to turn what by all rights should be a boilerplate, bog-standard plot and make it fresh and interesting.
Amnesia is a cliché plot device, but clichés are clichés because they work, and The Wanderers makes it work. I quickly found myself forgetting that I've seen it used before, and even forgetting that this is a labor- of-love indie film, and just enjoying the ride.
Also, I'm not sure whether the script or Ben Dreyfuss deserves the credit, but I would eagerly watch a sequel about his character.
