A good watch - Boys review by JR
Well worth watching. Good acting all round, particularly from the young Jonas. The past and present sequences are done well and although you slowly realise something bad has happened in the past the realisation is still a shock. The ending was clever , and not too glib. Throughly recommended.

EXPECTED MORE - Boys review by KW
Interesting film set in two tranches about 20 years apart, but with a tenuous link running through the film. Watchable but for me the problem was that with the flashbacks I found myself getting mixed signals as to what was actually going on!

Copycat! - Boys review by CB
Read JR’s review and that encapsulates my feelings for this film completely. Cop out I know, but that’s how it is!
