Leave your thoughts about Jamesy Boy.
| Philadelphia InquirerDavid HiltbrandFor such a seriously street film, Jamesy Boy has some surprisingly sappy moments. But the redemptive ending, while thin, is genuinely gratifying. |
| Sly FoxKam WilliamsA modern morality play about a young felon who, after paying his debt to society, left the slammer rehabilitated with more of a fondness for rhyme than robbery. |
| Paste MagazineAnnlee EllingsonWith Jamesy Boy on their IMDb filmographies, both White and Lofranco are ones to watch. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanTackled with a sense of thoughtfulness and compassion that makes the would-be garden-variety narrative worthwhile. |
| Shockya.comBrent SimonA well-intentioned coming-of-age drama that never pushes past a comfortable orbit of earnestness in search of deeper truths. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferSans nuance and much-needed depth, the end result feels underwhelming, bland and undercooked. Up-and-coming Spencer LoFranco shows promise as an actor. |
| Village VoiceInkoo KangDirector Trevor White frames the former teen gang member's life as an uplifting coming-of-age prison drama that feels entirely disconnected from the realities of incarceration. |
| The DissolveMike D'AngeloJamesy Boy has its heart in the right place, and first-time director Trevor White shows some skill with actors, but the film lacks a compelling reason to exist, except perhaps as a public-service announcement. |
| Los Angeles TimesMartin TsaiThe screenplay by Lane Shadgett and director Trevor White relies far too much on telling rather than showing. |
| Examiner.comTravis HopsonBurns has overcome a lot of hardship in his life, and his story is truly inspiring, but not everybody's story needs to be a movie. |
