Details

Outside In (2017) is an emotionally charged drama that explores the complexities of human connection and the struggles of reintegration. This compelling film centers around Chris, an ex-convict who is finding it difficult to adjust to life in his small town after spending 20 years in prison for a wrongful conviction.

Seeking solace and understanding, Chris forms a deep and unexpected bond with his former high school teacher, Carol, whom he credits with providing him hope during his incarceration. Carol, now married with a family, feels a strong connection to Chris and becomes his ally in navigating the challenges of society's perception of him as an ex-con.

As their relationship deepens, Chris and Carol must confront their personal demons and face the consequences of their choices. This thought-provoking film delves into the themes of redemption, loyalty, and forgiveness, while also shedding light on the flaws within the justice system.

With a powerful and moving performance by lead actor Jay Duplass and a sensitive portrayal by Edie Falco as Carol, Outside In is a profound examination of the human spirit and the capacity for transformation. Directed by Lynn Shelton, this film offers an intimate and authentic portrayal of two individuals searching for connection and purpose in a world that often offers little compassion.
