Critic Reviews for A Boy Called Dad
All Critics (10) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (5) | Rotten (5)
Starts confidently, before panicking itself into potty melodrama.
A sympathetic study of confusion, heartache and despair.
A well-intentioned look at masculinity and fatherhood.
Shot adroitly, and combining Leone-esque close-ups with long tracking shots of the various urban and rural locations, the film prioritises the ambiguity of emotional ties over expository melodrama.
Powerful and affecting.
The film has a nicely desolate air and some sweet bonding between the two Dads. But having avoided the threat of sentimentality, the film falls prey, in its latter stages, to silliness.
