Joe (2014)

Go
This film gets better after thinking about it for awhile. It is a character study. Joe (Nichols Gage) is a broken man who thinks he can fix the people around him. His main project is Gary (Tye Sheridan from Mud) and he does wind up having a profound effect on him.
I like Nichols Gage and don’t understand all criticism he generates. There are just a lot of haters out there who cannot compete.
Wade aka G-Daawg (Gary Poulter) gives a great performance and then you learn the following.
A little fact: Gary Poulter, who plays the part of Wade the father a.k.a. G-Daawg was a homeless man given the role by director David Gordon Green, who often casts locals in his movies. Poulter died on the streets of Austin a couple of months after filming stopped.
I added the movie year to this because in 1970 there was another movie titled Joe starring Peter Boyle.
