King of the Hill - Hjälten från Saint Louis

King of the Hill

As a hero, Jesse has some of the qualities of Huckleberry Finn, David Copperfield or Oliver Twist. He's plucky, smart, and knows his way around people.

...an exquisitely crafted and richly detailed adaptation of A.E. Hotchner's memoirs about growing up in St. Louis during the depths of the Depression...

...King of the Hill is ripe for reexamination and reevaluation, and reveals the seeds of many of the ideas and obsessions that would later become Soderbergh’s hallmarks.

...Aaron's story...is powerful in its simplicity.

the film's pleasures lie in its faithful recreation of period detail and the craftmanship of a uniformly excellent cast.
