Audience Member Very relevant in current events. An awareness for mental health and importance of family relationship. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member While it's not deep enough to dig the good source of idea and that makes the story quite diverging and twisted, but "A Boy Called Dad" has very-good performances from the two leading role (Kyle Ward and Ian Hart) that still makes this study of character of two fatherhood-Story is interesting, sentimental and affecting. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Starts well, continues badly in a completely nonsensical manor. Ends surprisingly well for what was a little bit of a soap esque script.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member British movie about a 14 year old teenage dad that is trying to rekindle his estranged relationship with his father while sorting out his feelings for his own baby and the baby's young mother. In this very confusing time he becomes involved in a fight and accidentally shoots his son's stepfather. In the heat of the moment Robbie takes the baby away with him. The movie follows Robbie and baby Elliot on the run, it tells us of their bonding and of Robbie's desperate attempt to recapture the last happy memory he had with his own father. The film deals with a difficult and uncommon subject as it is young parenthood and it does it well I think, it is just a shame that the Liverpool accent is so strong I couldn't understand half the dialogue; unfortunately there were no subtitles in the DVD so I am still unclear about some of the action and reactions of the characters. It is, in a way, a portrait of what David Cameron likes to call "broken Britain", low class families, teenage pregnancy, gambling, disengaged relationships, domestic violence... Despite all the sadness it has been done without falling into the darker tones you would expect in this sort of drama. In some moments it is almost dispassionate, completely detached from candour or doom. We get to see only a kid bonding with another kid in beautiful locations in the coast and the countryside of North Wales. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This was not a very long film at just 80 minutes. Yes, it did get a bit silly at times such as when this 14-year-old midget shot the boyfriend of the mother of his baby son, but I found the more realistic dialogue parts highly watchable. It didn't really need the melodramatic bits to make it entertaining. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
