Film Dear Pillow (2004)

  • Dearpillow_large

Like many teenage guys, Wes is shy, has a distant relationship with his father, and must negotiate the gravitational pull of his hormone-gorged sexuality through solitary means: namely, by eavesdropping on a phone-sex line with a police scanner. Wes soon befriends his porn director-turned-smut-author neighbor, Dusty, who convinces the sullen teen to try his hand at yank-rag prose, using his late-night listening sessions as source material. Part Cyrano de Bergerac and part Catcher in the Rye by way of Larry Clark, Bryan Poyser's 2004 sleeper hit is an unflinching coming-of-age film that's as creepy as it is tender.
