The New Boy (2023)
A breathing experience
9 July 2023 - 10 out of 24 users found this review helpful.
There is a lot to love about this move. The scenery is incredible and the performances were very strong. The telling is very gentle and avoided the violent scenes I was dreading not because there was no violence in that time but because the two central characters were coming from different places. The film is very understated in a way that doesn't try to tidy up all of the loose ends or bang you over the head with explanations of what you should be thinking or feeling. It's what's not said that make it so powerful. The new boy leaves you appreciating that the story avoided all of the obvious story choices.
