Watch Boy A For Free

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

best movie i've ever seen.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Beautiful drama about a boy that committed a hideous crime when he was a juvenile but he got tried as an adult. We all know stories like that in real life. I had to think about the Jamie Bulger case in England. The question that we are all asking ourselves then is if that kid will grow up as a normal guy once he served his sentence? Can he be rehabilitated? And most of all should people still be pointed at for the crime they commit after serving their sentence or are they allowed to start with a clean sheet? As a kid you should be given that chance once you come out, because their notion of good and evil wasn't formed like an adult yet. Jack Burridge is played beautifully by Andrew Garfield. I thought it was a very touching movie. The story keeps you captivated throughout the whole movie. To me it was a very good movie that I will probably watch again in the future.

I haven't really watched an intense movie in a while and it took watching Boy A to really make me aware of that fact. This movie was overwhelming. I didn't really know what to expect before watching this but I don't think there is anything I could have done to prepare myself for such a harrowing ride. The movie revolves around Jack/Eric an underage offender and we are introduced to him as he is just released from prison. He must integrate back into society under a false identity and at a difficult age considering what he's missed out on . The nature and extent of his heinous crime is slowly revealed to us making for a more dramatic film and it gives us a chance to develop a bond with his character before judging him straight away. When Jack/Eric is released from prison he has the naivety of a child and this is shown to us through his social interactions and how inexperienced he is with the most common tasks such as ordering food. This is actually a remarkable movie it's so authentic in every way possible the scene from the night out is all too familiar. When they were in the taxi reflecting on the night whilst being out of their minds.... well it was like deja vu. The director more than convinced me that Jack was entitled to a second chance no matter how atrocious the crime he had committed. He served his time, was remorseful, and by nature was not an evil person. He was just an underprivileged child in need of guidance and sought it in a best friend that was subjected to even more torment than he. An extremely intelligent movie, from the beginning everyone turned their backs on him and in the end nothing had changed leaving jack to feel as if he were alone once more with nowhere to turn. I have to add that I never liked Andrew Garfield as an actor but this was truly a riveting performance. He succeeded in capturing the intensity of his character and has forced me to reconsider my judgment of him.

This film accurately portrays the realities of the subject admirably. The acting by the lead character is top notch and all the issues are played out. Unexpectedly a feel-good film in part as the joys of the main character take us along and allow us to be glad for the lives and freedoms we have. A good solid film with excellent characters.The sets and locations provide a noticeably stark background, devoid of warmth. The story provides just enough unresolved mysteries to keep us wondering. A well crafted film seamlessly executed.Most memorable quote: "I am not that boy anymore, I'm not that boy".This film shows us the true dynamics of this type of situation. Be prepared to be educated.

I watched this movie the other day after reading up about it first on IMDb. I heard nothing but good reviews so I decided to give it a watch and im glad I did. Andrew Garfield does a great job as the lead he is a great up and coming actor. People say this movie resembles a true murder story from 1993 where two boys killed a little boy but I don't see many similarities just a story is all.This movie is about a young man who is released from prison after committing a murder as a young child. He regrets what he has done now struggles to try to make a normal life for himself while trying to leave his terrible past behind.This movie was really good. It had some great performances and the story line was well written I was just disappointed by the ending I feel they could have explained more.
