Reviews
|
IndieWire -
The scariest aspect of The Boy is the extent to which Macneill makes it possible to sympathize with the troubled protagonist — even as its haunting final shot hints at the horrors yet to come.
|
|
Entertainment Weekly -
The film’s biggest flaw is that there’s never any doubt about where Ted is going to end up.
|
|
Slant Magazine -
Craig William Macneill's film is a sporadically frightening slow burn with a fatally overlong fuse.
|
|
The New York Times -
The Boy, despite remarkable performances and gorgeous imagery, does not sufficiently flesh out its subject.
|
|
The Playlist -
The seeds of a sequel sprout in the film’s lasting final shot, but perhaps with a look further into Ted’s future, a narrative to match the mood will emerge as well.
