It was directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, and is a feature-length adaptation of a short film Cretton had created in 2010.The titular Short Term 12 is a home for at-risk teens, supervised primarily by young counselor Grace Howard (Brie Larson), her boyfriend Mason (John Gallagher Jr.), with whom she is fairly distant, the sensible Jessica (Stephanie Beatriz), and new hire Nate (Rami Malek). The film focuses on Grace and her relationships with her loved ones and the youth at the facility, including the suicidal Marcus (Lakeith Stanfield) and the spunky new intake Jayden (Kaitlyn Dever), whose troubles increasingly begin to bring Grace's own past to mind.

Bookends: The film starts and ends with the line staff telling stories about the kids before they are interrupted by Sammy sprinting out of the facility.

Art Reflects Personality: Jayden is a talented artist and writes a troubling story about an exploitative friendship between a shark and an octopus, which Grace correctly suspects is because her father is abusive.

Bittersweet 17: Marcus is unstable because he's upset at having to leave the facility once he turns 18.

Abusive Parents: Jayden's father beats her, and the reason Grace becomes so sympathetic to her is because Grace's own father sexually abused her in the past. Marcus also details his "crazy" abusive mother, who beat him and forced him to sell things at 10, in a rap.
