Movie Reviews

Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Gary GoldsteinWhile the cast is uniformly superb, Garfield ("Lions for Lambs") deserves special mention for his deep, extraordinarily expressive performance.
Film Threat - 10/10 by KJ DoughtonOne of the most gripping, thought provoking dramas ever to ponder crime and punishment.
Christian Science Monitor - 10/10 by Peter RainerAnd yet the great conundrum of the Holocaust is that it was perpetrated by human beings, not monsters. Few movies have rendered this puzzle so powerfully.
The Film Yap - 10/10 by Nick RogersAndrew Garfield nailed an assignment many actors would avoid or, worse, botch in "Boy A" - embody a grown, traumatized man experiencing emotional honesty, transparent kindness, sexual intimacy and genuine appreciation from others for the first time.
Baltimore Sun - 10/10 by Michael SragowThe genius of Garfield's performance is that he fills him with equal amounts of terror and wonder.
Salon.com - 9/10 by Andrew O'HehirA compelling, compact melodrama that packs an emotional wallop. It's my nominee for sleeper surprise of the summer, at least so far.
EricDSnider.com - 9/10 by Eric D. SniderIt's a sad movie, no question -- but like most great drama, it inspires admiration for its thoughtfulness and its craft.
Washington Post - 9/10 by Ann HornadayIt's beautiful. I loved it. And it broke my heart.
KPBS.org - 9/10 by Beth AccomandoHis sophomore feature, Boy A explores bleak territory but its insistence on not tying everything up in neat little bows is to be commended.
San Francisco Chronicle - 9/10 by Ruthe SteinBoy A will rivet you while raising issues about forgiveness and just who deserves it.
