19-year-old hooligan Tommy (Anson Boon) revels in a life of drugs, parties, and violence. One night, on a bender with his reckless friends, he becomes separated from the group and is abducted by an unknown figure (Stephen Graham). Though he is no stranger to inflicting violence, he is enraged and horrified when he wakes to find himself chained in the basement of the isolated suburban family home of Chris (Graham), his near-spectral wife Kathryn (Andrea Riseborough), and their young son Jonathan (Kit Rakusen). The family sets out to reform Tommy's unruly behavior, forcing him to comply with their relentless mind games or seek escape at any cost.

Kristy Puchko Mashable If you're seeking funky and fucked-up entertainment, Good Boy should scratch that late-night movie itch. Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Matthew Creith TheWrap “Good Boy” is doggone exceptional when it comes to the powerhouse acting abilities of Graham and Boon, both of whom take on their roles to showcase opposite ends of the rehabilitation spectrum. Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Emma Kiely Collider Good Boy keeps its cards firmly close to its chest for the majority of the movie, only for the finale to reveal that they kept them hidden because it never had a particularly strong hand. Rated: 6/10 Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots A wickedly strange, psychologically rich fairy tale that explores just how far humans will go to fix what’s broken inside them. Sep 25, 2025 Full Review Jared Mobarak Hey, Have You Seen ...? I’m a sucker for a messed-up premise that ultimately hits you in the heart by its end, and that’s exactly what Jan Komasa’s Good Boy delivers. Rated: 7/10 Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Graeme Guttmann Screen Rant Good Boy is a frustratingly elusive thriller anchored by a ferocious central performance from lead star Anson Boon.
