"Rarely has such a bold subject met with such acclaim as Boy A, 'an eloquent film, which boasts a stirring title turn by newcomer Andrew Garfield' (Michael Rechtshaffen, Hollywood Reporter). Garfield is Jack, a young man just released from prison for a crime committed when he was just a boy. Jack manages to build a new life - friends, a job, a girlfriend - until the ghost of his past returns to haunt him. Can Jack escape his violent past, or will the mistakes of his youth lead to tragic consequences? Nominated for 7 BAFTA Awards and winner of Best Actor for Andrew Garfield, Boy A is 'a distinctly powerful piece of work that rattles around in one's head long after the end credits have rolled' (Reelfilm.com)."--Container.
