Shy and withdrawn, Nathan (played by Stephan Bender) is new to his school, unusually smart (a grade ahead) and the silent tension at home nearly unbearable. Mom, Dad, and Nathan have moved constantly, town after town, landing, inexplicably, in god-fearing "St. Francisville, Louisiana". Roy (played by the multi-talented Max Roeg), a year older than Nathan, confident and hard-working, drives the bus to their school while a friendship blooms between them into a relationship that is fraught with confusion and yearning. But secrets pick at the relationship, the unspoken rules of their angst-driven interactions unravel as Nathan's world again comes crashing inwards. Tension crescendos as shame and terror, stress and disaster all compete to immobilize and destroy both of their worlds.

Movie Dearest - 7/10 by Fr. Chris CarpenterWhile I'm generally over coming-of-age stories at my curmudgeonly middle age, I discovered "Dream Boy" to be surprising and genuinely affecting.
User Review - 10/10 by Scott MA touching film based on a moving book, well worth a watch
User Review - 8/10 by Noelani OAbsolutely beautiful story. However the blues, melancholy and sadness shone throughout strong enough to give "Dream boy" more hopeful ending. Its very much in Caroline Smailes novels style.
User Review - 8/10 by Fabián CEs una bonita historia, que cuenta como un joven muy timido crea una relacion con otro joven muy popular, enfrentando asi sus problemas familiares y dejandose llevar por un amor ingenuo.
User Review - 8/10 by Calvin RDream Boy is not like most LGTB films its premise is great then it gets better and better as the film unfolds in this love tragic mythical tale. Dream Boy actors Stephan Benders, Maximillian Roeg do a outstanding performance from the beginning to the end, and they have a good chemistry and well they are both cute! The dialogue between the two was great and the other actors added more spark to the film. Overall a great tragic love tale that the ending I wasn't really to happy with it, instead it made me shed tears, but this is how the film is, and it kinda reminded me of Romeo & Juliet type of take.
User Review - 8/10 by Ethan LI really loved the simplicity with which this movie unfolds a beautiful coming to age story. "Dream Boy" tells the story of Nathan, a new boy in town who falls for Roy, a school bus driver and student. Everything in this movie is very laid down, linear and simple. I loved the two main actors, the dialogues, the filming locations. Acting was really good, and I'd like to read the book this movie was inspired from. I was surprised by this cute little movie. "Dream Boy" demonstrates how even the smallest movie can deliver a powerful, touching story. This one didn't move much from the starting point, but it delivers a very strong message, and it does that in a very beautiful way. I found the ending a little confusing, but in line with the rest of the movie. Many things are left unsaid and unexplained, but in this case I liked that. "Dream Boy" is a very peculiar, forgotten gem. Don't loose it.
User Review - 6/10 by Lee MWhether wedged, panting, on a cramped bus seat or groping furtively in a tiny pup tent, the two leads do manage to capture the recklessness of first love and especially its inarticulateness, when sometimes a desperate gasp of "touch me" is the best we can manage.
User Review - 6/10 by Javier EA coming of age story, nicely acted with some surprising plot twists and turns. It's not easy viewing at times but worth a look.
User Review - 6/10 by Ronil CA model gay film. Loved the story. The ending was disrupt. couldn't understand the climax. But loved overall.
User Review - 4/10 by Gustavo GOne of my favorite movies is 'Black Widow', which stars favorite actor Debra Winger--and Theresa Russell, mother of Max Roeg, the star of this movie. He is the reason to see this film, a gay teen romance mash-up with Southern Gothic and a dash of post-murder magic realism. The cliche climax is set in a maybe-haunted plantation house. Max Roeg is attractive physically and emotionally, delivers his lines convincingly, has great hair--and gives off some of his mother's appealing feral quality. Diana Scarwid and Ricky Lee Jones are good in small roles. The movie otherwise manages to be both over- and under-acted, a feat I would have thought hard to bring off, but this film achieves it. Particularly terrible: the other male ingenue and the actor who plays his sexually-abusive-when-drunk father.
