CGiii Comment
Well, this is certainly an ego trip without comparison.
Moretti gives us his autobiography...his un-impending stardom and, as an added bonus, his writing and directing talents.
This film gets the Narcissistic award - no other film has come this close to such self-love.
There are many therapists waiting in the wings to study Moretti - for chronic delusion and grating self-worth.
We all wait with hope that this plonker desists.

The(ir) Blurb...
An autobiographical film taken from the experiences of writer-director Rob Moretti, CRUTCH is a coming-of-age tale about a young man's struggle with family problems and substance abuse. Behind a facade of suburban middle class perfection, David's home life is falling apart. As he tries to cope with the impossible situation, the troubled and impressionable teenager falls under the spell of Kenny, a georgous, thirty-something, has-been actor turned theatre coach. When Kenny's "support" escalates into seduction, David slowly decends into an abyss of drinking and drug addition from which he must escape if he is to survive. CRUTCH is a dramatic tale of the confusion of youth and the difficulties in finding oneself.
