Robbie M "The New Boy" may be a good way to tech children about equality - if there wasn't so much swearing and atrocious acting even from the adults Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/17/21 Full Review Audience Member pretty good short film. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member For its length, it manages to provide much depth and a heartfelt story about being the new boy. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautifully simple, and wonderfully acted it was not the best of the shorts, but the one that made me smile the most. At only 11 minutes, it gives us brief glimpses into Joseph's past, but we don't need anything more. New Boy deals with the sometimes hard realities of race and trauma without ever becoming obvious about it. I've never been in an Irish classroom, but everything about it felt dead-on accurate. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Of all the shorts nominated this year, this is the one I think is the most likely to be expanded into a full length film. Joseph seemed interesting enough, but the short only allowed the briefest of glimpses into his life both in Africa and Ireland. I would enjoy seeing a movie that expanded on his experiences. As for the short, it was cute but (obviously) left me wanting more. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member cute but kinda dull.
