Review of iBoy (2017) by Leboyo56 — 08 Oct 2017
Finding serious tragedy in a silly concept is a difficult thing to do, but iBoy pulls it off in spades, for better and definitely for worse at times. Characters are well developed and likable for the most part, but the main character is a bit too spoft-spoken and drab a lot of the time, and there is no humor, almost nothing.
No comic relief. This is a depressing movie up until the end. There is a really good dialogue between the main woman character who was afflicted by sexual assault, towards her assaulters after she captures them, and some other parts are memorable (again, not necessarily always in a good way), such as the main character's friend being hung from a school balcony by a pair of shoes and their shoe laces.
It is a wicked, cruel movie, and will turn your scoffing at the title and premise into pure heartache not even halfway through. It is Mature through and through, but I am strangely fond of it. iBoy, iBore? No, iBoy, iEnjoy.
