"You lost your wife. And you lost your mom. I lost my nut."
- Hesher
So, Joseph Gordon-Levitt taking his elderly friend for a walk around the block in a coffin, having just porked THE Portman with support from his one good nut... with a Metallica soundtrack.

yooooo this film actually goes so hard and for what
I’m gonna rewatch it and do a proper full review at some point because there’s a lot I want to talk about here and I don’t have my thinking head on but like damn it’s awesome bro 😎 I loved it

heavy metal joseph gordon-levitt wreaking havoc is something i didn’t know i needed and i’m glad it exists
Hesher is an instant favorite. Is it ridiculous? Yes. Unrealistic? Totally. Immature? You betcha. Over the top? Definitely. Do I love it though? Hell yeah. It’s one of the most quotable films that I’ve seen in a long time and probably Joseph Gordon Levitt’s best performance outside of Mysterious Skin. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that most people have skipped over this one, but take it from me - if you have a good sense of humor and enjoy darker comedies with an underlying humanist theme, Hesher is well worth checking out. Just be careful how much you eat or drink during the film because it’s very likely that you’ll spit it all over the place while you laugh uncontrollably. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Weird film that's somehow both low-key and hugely in-your-face. Immense turn from JGL (as ever) and solid support from both Natalie Portman and Rainn Wilson. Not sure what more to say about it tbh, it really was quite the off-beat comedy that I'm not quite sure what I felt towards.
It's like Jim Jarmusch mixed with Alex Cox, except you replace punk with metal. And it's fucking great. Where to begin with Hesher... there's just so much good here.
It's one of the best blends of comedy and pure dramatic emotion I've ever seen. The absurdist writing is beautiful, every performance is flawless, the movie simultaneously brings uncontrollable laughter and deeply depressing moments that put you on the verge of tears. It's just so well executed.
Arguably Joseph Gordon-Levitt's best role, only being rivaled by Mysterious Skin, Hesher is just a perfectly done character. He's passionate, he's hilarious, he's insane, and he's very real. Hesher is one of my favorite movie characters to this date, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt only makes…
i'm pretty sure the first half of this is a y/n fanfiction.
✨ one day, a long haired metalhead version of joseph gordon levitt knocks at your door and comes in with no explanation. "where's the laundry room, y/n?" he asks, then proceeds to walk around your house. in the laundry room, he strips down to his pants and lightens a cigarette. "what are you doing?" you ask, with visible confusion. he then suddenly grabs you by your neck. "shut up, or i'll kill you and your family" he threatens. you feel his breath---- ✨
okay that's enough i'm so sorry i've read too many bts fanfics as a 12 year old but i swear this is an accurate description of one of the scenes, just in different context
What if you had an imaginary friend, but that imaginary friend was also a pot-smoking arsonist who likes to tell sexually explicit stories. No, it's not Ted, but it's Hesher and while he doesn't turn out to be imaginary (although his interactions with 10 year old TJ for the first half hour or so make it seem like it's going to be the case), he does do the things we would only imagine doing in real life (like setting fire to the school bully's car).
Joseph Gordon-Levitt brings anarchic fire to the title role with a nice turn by Devin Brochu as TJ. Their relationship is at the heart of the film which tends to push aside Rainn Wilson and…
