Free Screening of The Woodsman in L.A.
by RT Staff | December 16, 2004
Discuss Article
You and one guest are invited to a special advance screening of The Woodsman. Please print out the attached flier and bring it with you for admission. Please arrive early as seating is limited and on a first-come, first serve basis. The invitation does not guarantee admission, is non-transferrable and is not redeemable for cash.

SYNOPSIS:

Kevin Bacon delivers his finest performance in The Woodsman, a harrowing and moving tale of one man’s attempt to re-enter society.

After twelve years in prison, Walter moves into a small apartment across the street from an elementary school, gets a job at a lumberyard, and mostly keeps to himself. He finds unexpected solace from Vicki (Kyra Sedgwick), a tough-talking woman who promises not to judge him for his history. But Walter cannot escape his past. A convicted sex offender, Walter is shunned by his sister, lives in fear of being discovered at work, and is hounded by a suspicious police detective (Mos Def). After befriending a young girl in a neighborhood park, Walter must also grapple with the terrible prospect of his own reawakened demons.

The Woodsman, based on a play of the same name, is an unnerving, ultimately hopeful portrait of compulsion and hard-won redemption.
