The Woodsman

You're a man just out on parole after a decade behind bars, trying to knot your life back together in a town that doesn't want you. The job at the lumber mill is quiet, the apartment barely holds heat, and the woman from work doesn't know what you did. But a girl starts talking to you near the elementary school, and a man in a truck keeps watching the playground. The film ends with a shot of a chain-link fence trembling in the wind.
