St. Vincent

2014 Comedy

Following Maggie’s (McCarthy) divorce, she and her 12-year-old son, Oliver (Lieberher), move in next door to a bawdy, booze-swilling, misanthropic war veteran named Vincent (Murray). When Oliver gets locked out of the house after school one day, he stays with Vincent until his mom gets home. Hard up for cash, Vincent hires himself out as Oliver’s permanent babysitter, and the mismatched pair strike up an unlikely friendship. Much to Maggie’s consternation, Vincent introduces the boy to his hedonistic lifestyle of drinking, gambling and his relationship with a Russian prostitute.
