The leads are exceptional, and Graton’s direction and pacing never slackens in this astute observation into the lives of these “lost boys” who find each other.

The Times (UK)

As heavy with mood as it is light on narrative detail, this dark, poetic and sometimes dreamy romance is set within the walls of an unnamed Belgian juvenile detention centre.

Rated: 3/5

The Lost Boys is a beautiful film with an interesting and unique setting, one that is particularly relevant in an age where underage crime is seemingly rampant.
