ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.........

An AMAZING performance in WILDLIFE!. Its too bad that many may not have seen the movie due to its very sparse release and distribution. But if you HAVE seen it, Ed's performance is one that is not to be missed.
Each year I make my own personal list of young actors and actresses that give Oscar worthy performances in movies but get no credit in the Oscars themselves. So far, Ed is topping my list with this movie,
I have enjoyed him as a kid in his previous roles. I first saw him in "The Visit", a role which really made the movie enjoyable.
Ed is a teenager now and delivering a top notch dramatic performance in a major role. The movie is basically told from HIS perspective. Ed is totally believable in the part and embodies the character completely. Here he is playing the most level headed character in the movie. A teenager with parents who are messed up, particularly the mother. The maturity of the role was truly impressive.
I understand that's is the way its written, but Ed makes the character REAL. I was totally drawn in to his situation.

I am very happy to see his versatility in roles. I sincerely hope to see him in more roles of various nature. I really enjoy his work.

I am surprised that others have not posted yet but am honored to be the first to recognize his excellence here.
