The Wild Boys (2017)
1/10
Grooming young boys is not entertainment
15 March 2019
Warning: Spoilers
There was a whole lot of stuff I didn't expect. I left at the hour twenty mark, but really I had enough of the woman-hating references ( the rape scene, the island smells likes oysters mentioned at least 3 times etc,) plus the gratuitous grooming of the boys first used to explain the rape of a teacher and then used to explain why they were all strangely attracted to an older man (The Captain) who ties them up in a style reminiscent of Anne Rance's the Beauty Chronicles (shudder). And they are forced to beg for sustenance from a penis shaped tree which squirts into their mouths Puh-lease. Maybe I'm.not the target audience because I like my partners adult and consensual, but in a #Metoo age I find it astounding that people thought this film aligned with modern expectations.
