Flower Boy

I'm assuming most of the reviews have been written by the cast.

It had more of a look and feel of a school project, than a movie.

The acting is poor from most other than the lead bully & flower boy, who give decent performances.

I thought the soundtrack was good & the ending was rather infuriating - but I understand why it ended that way for impact.

[5/10]

Great film. We watched flower boy today and were gripped. There were some shocking moments that highlight exactly how far bullying goes and it didn't shy away from addressing the all encompassing effect byllying can have.

There were several stand out performances including the gang members which were so convincing they made you squirm in your seat!. The bits of humour were also a light relief from the heavy and serious theme of bullying throughout, without taking away from it.

Another stand out performance by flower boys sisted had me in tears but I won't spoil the moment , she was amazing.

Must watch lots of unexpected shocks and big moments throughout that kept you watching. It was so good we then followed it up by watching the earlier film by aidey push which is also brilliant. Welldone to all involved

This film brought me right back to being in high school and all the torment and frustration of dealing with bullying and the feeling of helplessness and despair that brings with it. The film deals with the topic brilliantly- making you feel for the characters involved and what they're going through. The characters feel so realistic and you really feel like you know them and I think everyone can relate to the film in their own way, whether it be through their own experience or someone they know.

Everyone needs to watch this film- it's a brilliant portrayal of real life and what it can be like for a lot of people who experience being bullied. It encourages empathy and kindness and consequences of bullying and how that can impact others.

As a teacher in the UK I can vouch for how authentic this film is and given the tiny budget it was brilliantly executed with fantastic actors. It was moving and the end had me gripped and my heart in my stomach. I want all of my students to watch this film. Powerful and important film.

I found this film to be such a good portrayal of life today. The actors were brilliant and I found myself gripped from the start. The heart to heart with the teacher scene had me in bits, knowing that he would face persecution for caring.

All in all great little film.
