The Kintyre Forum

Was going to put this in the other section, but decided it could become a controversial subject, so thought better to put it in Speaker's Corner.

I saw Boy A with Andrew Garfield and Peter Mullan this past weekend. I thought it was a very good movie and wondered if anyone on the forum has seen it. It seems to be reminiscent of a case in Britain. It is a about two boys who kill another child. After a few years one is let out of the institution he was sentenced to and given a job and a new identity. Wondering if anyone has seen it and what your thoughts are.

That looks pretty powerful.

Is it about the Jamie Bulger case?

It might have had that case in mind, but it isn't specifically about that case.

Was'nt something similar to this shown on C4 about 6 months ago?

It was shown on Ch4 last November and has been repeated since.

I found it to be a powerful drama with a stand out performance from the lead character.

What is it you call it - infanticide ?. I thought the authorities - in the Bulger case - handled things fairly well - considering.
