Review of Boy A (2008) by Jon D — 04 Jun 2008
Very slow starting out, but ultimately a really interesting and heart-breaking story. Jack committed a horrible murder when he was young, possibly 12 or 13. Having served his sentence, he is now in his early 20s and living under an assumed name, trying to start life over.
While not much happens in the movie, getting to know Jack in his new life and learning about his haunting past through flashbacks make this a fascinating character study. Andrew Garfield delivers a breakthrough performance.
