What to Know

Critics Consensus

Visually stylish and alluring in a dreamlike way, Disco Boy finds writer-director Giacomo Abbruzzese building on his obvious influences to tell a story that's distinctive in its own right.

Kevin Maher Times (UK) But what the Italian director Giacomo Abbruzzese, on his feature debut, has done with this hoary premise is extraordinary. Rated: 4/5 Apr 1, 2024 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) While the plot itself is a little nebulous, the atmosphere that Abbruzzese creates, through a hypnotic, pulsing electronic score and Rogowski’s febrile presence, is unnerving and intense. Rated: 4/5 Mar 31, 2024 Full Review Sergio Burstein Los Angeles Times Disco Boy drives by with a certain striking aesthetic that can be hypnotic, and Rogowski is a sufficiently charismatic actor, enough to generate empathy. [Full review in Spanish] Feb 21, 2024 Full Review William Stottor Loud and Clear Reviews Disco Boy is a riveting and visceral belter of a film with, unsurprisingly, a terrific lead performance from Franz Rogowski. Rated: 4/5 Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Ray Pride Newcity Abbruzzese’s style drenches from the start, immersive in the dreamy fashion that bespeaks cinema more than mere plot-fashioned moviemaking. Lyrical yet highly controlled. Rated: 10/10 Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Kevin Wight The Wee Review Gorgeous and dreamlike drama sees two men with differing ideas of freedom be forever changed through one violent moment Rated: 4 Jun 2, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
