The Boy is an excellent film with a standout performance by young Jared Breeze, utterly believable as the angelic boy with a dark side. Those that say it is slow and boring just don’t know good films, unless there are car chases, endless explosion and super hero cartoon like action sequences a large section of the movie going public lacks the ability to get into a good dramatic film.
See this film, highly recommended, and kudos to this small fan website for exposing good young talent and films to teens.
Just finished watching it after I came on this page added here had no prior knowledge of the fil or the actor. I could feel the isolation seeping through the wide expanse of nothing. I see a 9 year old boy completely enveloped in loneliness, a kid that should be playing with friends or the least an X-Box cleaning rooms in his dads run down desert motel. I felt for him as I see him change beds, scrub and cleaned while his obviously depressed father lounges around.
I felt fear as I see him grow more and more preoccupied with death and dead things, what a job by the young actor.
I am no pro reviewer just see this film and forget the complaints of the slow pace this film is engrossing.
