Daniel B I don't know, watching some Texas kids act just as dumb as the adults, any one who finds politics interesting in the first place should have their head examined. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/25 Full Review Leaburn O Fascinating to see how reductively basic the political views of young Americans look to be, even going forward. Really depressing how loud mouth, jock culture isn't just a minority element. It is the defining essence of American youth culture which seems to feed into this civic sponsored mentality of winning at all costs. It's promoted by the respect for officials and government and American's supine deference to the myths of their allegedly unique democratic and liberal credentials. Never mind that those credentials can't hold up to proper scrutiny or comparison with other liberal democracies. It's a country that will remain politically divided and intransigent. The only individual who comes out of the film with any credit is Stephen and he seemed the only remotely sane and authentic person in amongst a field of psychos and morons. Sorry America, but I would have hoped for more from your youngest generations. Now I better understand that your reverence for the flag, officials, the army, constitution and liberal myths of the US, is all part of a rigid establishment indoctrination which hems creative and thoughtful discourse into the straightjacket of perpetuation with the lies that you're happy to swallow. What a sad way to use your freedom of speech and expression. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/12/23 Full Review Adam C Boys State beautifully highlights the next generation of America's leaders and puts real context behind one of the most selective educational programs in the US.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member A great illustration of how quickly and why mob mentality spreads. Chilling how some of those scenes are reminiscent of what happened in Charlottesville. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Taylor S Wow this movie gave me hope! I thought we were teaching young men not to be men anymore but young gunners still got it! Amazing movie. Great energy. Must see.
