Our Hero, Balthazar
Sundance debut comedy‑drama following privileged teen Balthazar as he confronts a would‑be shooter; post‑screening discussion.
2025 | USA | 96' | Drama
Oscar Boyson's Sundance hit is an incisive look at the widening class divide in US society. Balthazar (Jaeden Martell), a wealthy New York teenager, travels to Texas to try to stop a would‑be mass shooter, Solomon (Asa Butterfield). A skilful mix of tender, unsettling and hugely empathetic, this audacious comedy‑drama is a terrific debut from an exciting new voice in American cinema.
