"Boy" finds hope, and love, in the oddest corners.

Austin Chronicle

A performer and comedian before becoming a filmmaker, Waititi uses his comic sensibilities to keep Boy from becoming mawkish or clichéd. He has created a coming-of-age tale that is truly original.

The Playlist

The momentum from the opening dissipates early and without a real engine pushing the movie foward, it begins to drag...the film is 87 minutes and feels like it's 2 hours.

Toronto Star

A simple story of coming of age and the bitter failings of hero worship that succeeds thanks to the impressive skills of its young star.

Philadelphia City Paper

Rolleston's winning presence doubtless has much to do with the fact that Boy is a record-breaking hit in its home country, but there's some salt mixed in with the film's sugar.

Philadelphia Inquirer

Boy is a charmer, a funny and affecting coming-of-age story rendered with heart, and with nuttiness.

NECN

It's one of those flicks that has more resonance than you may at first realize and a level of charm that few films contain.

Chicago Reader

Waititi has reached into his past for a story that belongs to him alone.

Chicago Sun-Times

A film like this would have little chance without the right casting, and James Rolleston is so right as Boy, it's difficult to imagine anyone else.

Oregonian

Waititi does a nice tonal juggling act, balancing eccentric characters, a 1980s setting, child-drawn animation and Maori-inflected restagings of Michael Jackson videos with the painful consequences of parental neglect.

Eye for Film

This is an upbeat, often hilarious, but never mawkish, celebration of love.

Globe and Mail

Even the inevitable flaws of the low-budget production are winning, showcasing as they do the narrative artistry that makes Boy so distinctive amid current factory-written studio productions.
