Boy A

[Jared Kaufman]

Based on the award winning novel of the same name by Jonathan Trigell, Jack (Andrew Garfield) is released from prison at the age of 24, having been institutionalized for most of his life after he and another boy murdered a child, when they were themselves children. The film follows Jack's difficult attempts to readjust to the world outside of confinement and restart a life which never really got going. Under the fatherly mentor-ship of Terry (Peter Mullan) his parole contact and social worker, he experiences a coming of age, which would normally have happened years ago. But forces from the past are constantly upon him, as we learn more about the events leading up to the crime which has ruined so many lives, there is an increasing sense of suspense, intrigue and ultimately doom: the tabloid press and Terry's real son are not going to let things lie.

I don't know why I haven't heard of this until now but it's already playing at a theater in DC, might have to go see it this weekend.

This was on TV in Britain a while ago. It was good. Though did seem to have some similarities to the James Bulger thing (well in that it was two young boys tried for murder and they were given new identites that were protected).

They're showing it at the cinema there?

Yep.

Cool. It was just on TV here, and then repeated a few times. I'm kinda surprised they're putting it on the cinema.
