Sympathetic account of a young man sentenced to an unjust prison term for inadvertently hitting a pedestrian with his car.
Holds attention, though of interest mainly for an early performance (and nude scene) by Barbara Hershey, and to see an obscure piece from director Mulligan.
**1/2 out of ****.
MPAA: Rated PG for some violence, language, and brief nudity.
