[ENG]


It’s the summer of 1989. 9-year-old Ted Henley (Jared Breeze) and his father John (David Morse) are the proprietors of The Mt. Vista Motel, a crumbling resort buried in the mountains of the American West. Since Ted's mother left, John has drifted into despondency—leaving Ted to fend for himself. In this isolation, unchecked by the bounds of parenting, Ted’s darker impulses begin to manifest. The arrival of a mysterious drifter, William Colby (Rainn Wilson), captivates young Ted and the two form a unique friendship - setting the stage for Ted’s final, unnerving metamorphosis. THE BOY is a chilling, intimate portrait of a 9-year-old sociopath's growing fascination with death. [SXSW]


**************

The film’s biggest flaw is that there’s never any doubt about where Ted is going  to end up. The Boy is the first installment in a planned trilogy, a warped coming-of-age tale about a fledgling sociopath, and the question isn’t if Ted is going to snap — it’s when. As a result, the film feels overly long, and while lingering shots of the mountain scenery do help convey the isolation of the deserted motel, too many of them feel repetitive. (Devan Coggan, Entertainment Weekly)
