The year is 1984, and on the rural East Coast of New Zealand "Thriller" is changing kids' lives. Inspired by the Oscar nominated Two Cars, One Night, Boy is the hilarious and heartfelt coming-of-age tale about heroes, magic and Michael Jackson. Boy is a dreamer who loves Michael Jackson. He lives with his brother Rocky, a tribe of deserted cousins and his Nan. Boy's other hero, his father, Alamein, is the subject of Boy's fantasies, and he imagines him as a deep sea diver, war hero and a close relation of Michael Jackson (he can even dance like him). In reality he's "in the can for robbery". When Alamein returns home after 7 years away, Boy is forced to confront the man he thought he remembered, find his own potential and learn to get along without the hero he had been hoping for. -- (C) Official Site

Review For Movie Boy
Even the inevitable flaws of the low-budget production are winning, showcasing as they do the narrative artistry that makes Boy so distinctive amid current factory-written studio productions.
John Barber-Globe and Mail A simple story of coming of age and the bitter failings of hero worship that succeeds thanks to the impressive skills of its young star.
Linda Barnard-Toronto Star "Boy" finds hope, and love, in the oddest corners.
Tom Long-Detroit News Waititi has reached into his past for a story that belongs to him alone.
J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader A film like this would have little chance without the right casting, and James Rolleston is so right as Boy, it's difficult to imagine anyone else.
Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times Boy is a charmer, a funny and affecting coming-of-age story rendered with heart, and with nuttiness.
Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer This is an upbeat, often hilarious, but never mawkish, celebration of love.
Amber Wilkinson-Eye for Film It's one of those flicks that has more resonance than you may at first realize and a level of charm that few films contain.
Erick Weber-NECN A performer and comedian before becoming a filmmaker, Waititi uses his comic sensibilities to keep Boy from becoming mawkish or clichéd. He has created a coming-of-age tale that is truly original.
Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle Waititi does a nice tonal juggling act, balancing eccentric characters, a 1980s setting, child-drawn animation and Maori-inflected restagings of Michael Jackson videos with the painful consequences of parental neglect.
Mike Russell-Oregonian This is a good-natured, goofy and often charming little coming-of-age comedy that is bright, light and fun.
Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews Homegrown though it often feels, the film is hurt by a distinct lack of budget; how else to explain why "Thriller," or any song at all by Michael Jackson, never appears?
Dustin Putman-DustinPutman.com Funny and touching at times, but a little bit of Dad goes a long way.
Peter Keough-Boston Phoenix The storytelling is far from standard, from the endearingly eccentric characterizations and performances to match to the whimsical, sometimes surreal tone.
Michael Dequina-TheMovieReport.com From its pop culture addicted populace...to the exploits Boy imagines for his dad (deep sea diver, war hero, friend of Jackson) depicted by animations of Rocky's crayon drawings, "Boy" charms.

Movie Overview For Boy
It's 1984, and Michael Jackson is king - even in Waihau Bay, New Zealand. Here we meet Boy, an 11-year-old who lives on a farm with his gran, a goat, and his younger brother, Rocky (who thinks he has magic powers). Shortly after Gran leaves for a week, Boy's father, Alamein, appears out of the blue. Having imagined a heroic version of his father during his absence, Boy comes face to face with the real version-an incompetent hoodlum who has returned to find a bag of money he buried years before. This is where the goat enters.
