Denny (Chris Messina) tells his teenage son Paul (Jaeden Martell) to stand tall with dignity and never run away. Meant as inspiration with a sympathetic heart, these words fall flat because he’s trying to solve the wrong problem—his inability to truly understand Paul’s uniquely personal perspective leading him astray. Denny wants to believe the knit mask covering his boy’s face is a means to hide from the world because his goal is to protect his child from the terrible things ignorant people say and think. Reality proves more complicated, though, since that outside noise is never as potent as what’s festering inside. Paul can’t be forced into feeling empowered over strangers if he’s yet to conquer his own self-hate. And that struggle can only be fought on his terms.
