acsdoug D @acsdoug 11h It starts out wonderfully bizarre. Unfortunately, it turns rather conventional about halfway through, but I still enjoyed it enough to recommend. Plus, Stephen Graham turns in another good performance. Man, that guy is versatile. He can play psychos and milquetoast men equally well. See more David R @JohnMacca 1d “A beautifully shot, expertly acted character study that feels like a throwback to the intelligent, adult dramas of decades past. It keeps you engaged from beginning to end and avoids predictable storytelling. One of the better dramas I’ve seen in quite a while.” See more Wayne M @Wayne93 4d The Good Boy is a multi layered, deep and dark thriller. It is full of many surprises, it is unsettling and surprisngly full of depth. This is the first English language film for Polish director Jan Komasa. We find 19yo Tommy, a foul mouthed delinquent known for violent and drunken behaviour. He is then kidnapped by a couple who live in a stately isolated country house. Chris and Kathryn have a ten year old boy and lead a quiet life but you can feel they have trauma in their past. Soon, they have Tommy chained up in their basement with Chris trying to rehabilitate Tommy. Early scenes are a little disturbing, but we eventually learn the motivations of the couple. The film develops a rhythm and it reveals itself to be much more than just a dark thriller. It's a film that questions and probes and has lots to offer. Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough are superb as the couple, whilst Anson Boon is great as Tommy. A film that works on many levels and works very well. See more Emily A @emaustin1 Jun 9 This film keeps you guessing from start to finish! The Good Boy is a thoroughly disturbing yet highly enjoyable piece of cinema. It’s rare to see black comedy executed this well, but it completely hits the mark - keeping you laughing even through its darkest, most unsettling moments. See more Les N @Vegas628 Jun 8 That was a seriously fucked up movie. See more Jerod S @jeroduptown Jun 3 Everyone in heel has major issues - but the way Tommy is chained up by his neck and given a track to roam the house on is wild. Redemption isn't found in this one.
