Flower Boy

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

In this film you see a young man bullied by a girl gang ultimately leading to extreme actions. A very emotional and hard hitting story with some Violent scenes but not over graphic. This film not only deals with the effects of bullying but the struggles faced when standing up to bullying or trying to stop it. It also subtly show that sometimes the bully themself need help.

Fantastic cast giving a great performance ... I challenge you not to cry at this film ... Fully recommend this film with possibly a PG rating.

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]

I think this film is a slightly unrealistic view with good intentions. The actions of the victim become predictable ludicrous EG the bullying victim continually transits through a derelict factory where his tormentors hang out... The monologues given from the various actors in the process are over sentimental with whimsicle music designed to elicit emotions... But the manipulation of the viewer is a little bit too obvious. It's not a bad film it's just not great... And lastly its frustrating to watch it and not see the gang get a good hiding... Just a nasty reminder of the the trash that think they rule the UK estates..

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.
