Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post Morris Gentry is 13 years old, loves rap, has a crush on an older blonde girl and is trying to learn German – all of which would be unremarkable, except in this case Morris is actually living in Germany, and, as his dad Curtis puts it, they’re “the only two brothers in Heidelberg.” Portrayed in a sturdy, solemn feature debut by Markees Christmas, the title character of “Morris From America” is a sympathetic if slightly recessive protagonist, who weathers the inevitable trials of his coming-of-age – heartbreak, bullying, first forays with drugs and alcohol – with carefully cultivated nonchalance.
