Boy review: A sweet coming-of-age story
SET in 1984, Boy is a sweet film featuring a delightful performance from James Rolleston.
Boy is set in 1984
Boy (Rolleston) lives with his grandmother, little brother and extended family.
His best friend is a goat and he’s sustained through life’s hard knocks by a vivid imagination.
But when his ne’er-do-well father Alamein (Taika Waititi) rolls up after a seven-year prison sentence, Boy wants to be like him.
He has some tough lessons to learn in this breezy coming-of-age story.
