Movie Haiku:Coach (Sage) lures boys into pedophile’s paradise filled with junk food & video games. Ten years later, one young man supressed all details (Corbet) while the other (Gordon-Levitt) tries to pretend they were no big deal. Deeply disturbing but haunting; the 2 kids (Ellison & Webster) will break your heart.
