Zackary T This has all the hallmarks of a great Hal Ashby film. It's absolutely heartbreaking, heartwarming and incredibly hilarious. All in equal measure. This is an incredibly hard feat to pull off Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/25 Full Review Raven R Amazing movie, I definitely recommend this movie.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/12/24 Full Review Marika P You can't call yourself a true Taika fan until you've seen this movie. I cried, smiled and laughed. Like all Waititi films, this one teaches the soul. There is: funny symbols that examines guilt. We receive selfless help from where we would not even expect, from the person we hurt. However, Boy becomes a better person because he saw the counterexample (the vision of a fake hero which stripped away his layers through continuous value destruction). It became one of my favorite movies. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/24 Full Review Anthony M One of my favourite movies of all time! It is heart-breaking, heart-warming, and hilarious all at once. Love love love this film! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/24 Full Review Stephanie S This is a very powerful film and is sure to leave the audience with a lot to think about. The story is beautifully woven between comedy, real life, and, dramatic interludes. Boy's hero worship for his absentee father is such a pure emotion that is depicted throughout the film right up until he realizes who his father is. The animation provides a unique way to emphasize certain scenes along with the beautiful natural scenery in New Zealand. Although child neglect is clearly depicted throughout the film, the ending scene brings hope to the new path for the father-son's relationship going forward. I was touched, happy, crying, and savoring some of the memorable lines throughout the film and have found myself re-watching this gem several times each year since I first saw it. The final line in the film gets me every time along with the wonderful ending Haka. This is a must see film and is destined to become a classic.
