Reinaldo Marcus Green’s film is titled 'Joe Bell,' not 'Jadin Bell,' which maybe tells you something about its scope and intentions. Read our review of the movie starring Mark Wahlberg as a self-flagellating father of a dead gay son
In Jadin’s case, the second leg of that story may have had something to do with it. Some months after Jadin’s death, Jadin’s father, Joe Bell, decided to walk the country in honor of his son, from his home in La Grande all the way to New York, landing where Jadin once dreamed of living out the rest of his life after high school. And giving talks, campaigning against bullying in schools, at motorcycle rallies, wherever he could, as he traveled.
So far, this must sound like a redemption narrative. It is and it isn’t. The film is split nearly in two. It’s dominant strand is a study of Joe’s travels on the road, which are punctuated by the slim bits of contact he still has with the family left back home, particularly his wife Lola , who has her own frustrations — and whose presence trains us to keep in mind the ways that Joe is, despite this mission, an imperfect man.
Reid Miller’s accomplished performance renders Jadin extraordinary for being so ordinary; smart, sensitive, almost unduly wise, but in the scheme of things normal, which is to say, trying his hardest to be himself despite the risks. He weathers anonymous texts from bullies on his own. He navigates his sense of himself on his own.
