Full Plot Details

When David Wilson's young wife falls victim to cancer, he is left a single working dad with the sole responsibility of caring for his sixth grade son with autism. Patrick, who prefers to be called 'Po,' is a gifted but challenged child who was very close to his mother and unable to communicate his own sense of loss. As father and son struggle to deal with life after mom, they each begin to withdraw into their own worlds. David into the high pressure job he's close to losing and Po drifting away from the school where he's bullied into his magical fantasy world, the Land of Color, where he's just a typical carefree boy with a rich cast of other worldly companions. The growing divide between father and son and the challenges of single parenthood of a special needs child threaten to separate David and Po permanently. Based on a true story, the bonds of love between a grieving father and son are tested in the most real way in Po.

Movie Reviews

Blu-ray.com - 7/10 by Brian OrndorfA TV movie-style viewing experience, hitting conflicts and emotional beats with a sledgehammer, while the ending is borderline inexcusable.
Film Journal International - 7/10 by André HerefordA Boy Called Po pours on the schmaltz and a Burt Bacharach score to sketch an oddly affecting portrait of autism.
Film Inquiry - 6/10 by Amanda MazzilloA Boy Called Po lacks a realistic exploration of autism, falling into common tropes surrounding the depiction of autism in Hollywood films.
RogerEbert.com - 6/10 by Sheila O'MalleyThe script tries to do way too much, but the film also moved me quite deeply a couple of times, mostly in the scenes between father and son.
Eye for Film - 6/10 by Jennie KermodeA simple family story which follows a predictable path but does it with grace, A Boy Called Po features impressive performances from its two leads, who have great chemistry and effectively capture a complex relationship.
Movie Nation - 5/10 by Roger MooreActor-turned-director John Asher’s warm and fuzzy picture undercuts a big chunk of the goodwill it earns by parking multiple endings after its climax, and beating its sappy theme song — a cover of The Carpenters’ “Close to You” — into our heads, scene after scene.
Los Angeles Times - 5/10 by Gary GoldsteinThe film over-relies on blunt messaging, one-note villains (bullies, bosses, administrators, worst mall cop ever) and several stacked-deck situations to align us with David and Po, even if we’re inherently on their side from the start.
Variety - 4/10 by Nick SchagerNoble intentions alone do not a great movie make, as evidenced by Po, whose heart is in the right place but whose drama is woefully lacking in momentum.
Mark Reviews Movies - 4/10 by Mark DujsikThere's no denying that A Boy Called Po has the best intentions at heart, but those only get a movie so far.
Cinemalogue - 4/10 by Todd JorgensonWhile overflowing with good intentions, this woefully contrived drama tackles autism, bullying, single parenting and the grieving process without providing sufficient insight into any of them.
