10,000 Saints

Between the constant churn of new releases, 10,000 Saints in the US on Amazon Prime Video and fuboTV is the comedy actually worth stopping for. The length is exactly right for the story it is telling — nothing rushed, nothing dragged out. Its 6/10 TMDB score, built from 184 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Ethan Hawke's performance alone is worth the time investment. Put it on tonight on Amazon Prime Video and see for yourself.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, 10,000 Saints earns its spot. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate 10,000 Saints from the crowd. A sweeping multigenerational story set against the backdrop of the raw, roaring New York City of the late 1980s; adoption, teen pregnancy, drugs, hardcore punk rock, the unbridled optimism and reckless stupidity of the young—and old—are all major elements in this heart-aching tale of the son of diehard hippies and his strange odyssey through the extremes of late 20th century youth culture. Between them, Ethan Hawke and Asa Butterfield carry the comedy without ever forcing it. It was released in 2015. 10,000 Saints earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

10,000 Saints is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Ethan Hawke's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.

10,000 Saints was released in 2015, directed by Shari Springer Berman. The full 113-minute film is available to watch now.
