Boy A

Rarely has such a bold subject met with such acclaim as Boy A, "an eloquent film, which boasts a stirring title turn by newcomer Andrew Garfield" (Michael Rechtshaffen, Hollywood Reporter). Garfield is Jack, a young man just released from prison for a crime committed when he was just a boy. Jack manages to build a new life - friends, a job, a girlfriend - until the ghost of his past returns to haunt him. Can Jack escape his violent past, or will the mistakes of his youth lead to tragic consequences? Nominated for 7 BAFTA Awards and winner of Best Actor for Andrew Garfield, Boy A is "a distinctly powerful piece of work that rattles around in one's head long after the end credits have rolled" (Reelfilm.com).

Film School Rejects: No matter your feelings on crime and criminals, Boy A will probably give you something to think about. A young man is released from prison after serving his childhood behind bars, and the film follows his attempt at a normal life. Andrew Garfield gives a heartbreaking performance as a man torn between desire for a future and guilt over the past.
