Agreed. It is such an incredible film and Andrew Garfield is amazing in it. It is a real testament to his talent that you are able to see vunerability in and feel empathy towards Jack.
 
I rewatched the movie last night. It's such an amazing movie. And Andrew Garfield was just amazing in it. :love:
 
I KNOW! It drove me insane. Thank God I thought it was something that made no sense in the scene whatsoever, which obviously made me question the original line :lol:
 
:love: I think I'll watch it again tomorrow, and make sure I catch the lines I missed because of the accent :goof:

DO YOU LOVE ME?

:lmao:
 
Saw this movie yesterday, and I LOVED. Very interesting and well acted. Andrew Garfield is amazingly talented
 
I made a thread for this last month and no one had heard about it. Nice to see someone else who's seen it :).

I loved it, couldn't stop thinking about it for over a week.
 
I've heard of this, but I've never seen it. I didn't even know what it was about, thanks for the synopsis. It does sound good. Is it out on DVD?

IMDB - Boy A (2007)
Channel 4 (UK) - Boy A

It's a fictional story about Jack (Andrew Garfield), a young man who has spent most of his life in institutions paying for a terrible crime he committed as a minor.
At 24 years old Jack is released into an unrecognisable adult world with a new name, a new job; a new life. Only his case worker, Terry (Peter Mullan), knows his true identity.

Anonymity is both a blessing and a curse as Jack, desperate to re-build his life and seize this second chance, has to contend with not being able to tell the people he gets to know, and love, of his true past and the monstrous secret he must keep hidden.​
 
It was on ITV in England last month but It's in very limited release in the U.S., wasn't able to find it in my area so I saw it online.
 
Sounds pretty interesting.

Where did you see this? And is there gonna be a nationwide release?

From the sounds of it, I'd guess it'd be more of a limited release...

Saw this film a couple of days ago and it still haunts me. Really well made and great performances by the entire cast especially Andrew Garfield as Jack and Taylor Doherty as Philip.

Anyone else seen it?

Plot Summary​
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.
