Filmmaker (and former lawyer) Austin Vickers pleads his case on your behalf, hoping to get you sprung from whatever prison you’ve built for yourself. A jail term following a drunk-driving accident serves as an Everyman play for modern times and also illustrates the themes laid out by a parade of eminent talking heads. Those themes have a lot to do with self-improvement based on more intentional patterns of perception. You may not be convinced, but it’s easy to imagine Vickers smiling and asking why it is you don’t want to be free. (2012) — Matthew Lickona
